* Dear Vidal:

I am sorry that you didn’t get your parents’ attention, that your grandmother gets angry at you for no reason, and that as a result, you “always get scared… easily get insecure, and most of the times, I would just hug my knees in a corner and cry.. really anxious here at home. I easily get mad always hiding what I’m doing coz she might do something bad at me”-

– what “something bad” does your grandmother do to you?

– you wrote: “all my  life I was tortured and manipulated”- can you elaborate on that: on how you were manipulated, and more about how you were tortured?

One more thing, can you start your own thread (click FORUMS above, click CATEGORIES, choose one, Tough Times, perhaps, scroll down the page). You can answer my questions there, if you choose to, and we can communicate there.
