Dear noname:

“Most people don’t listen very well, they want to fix”- this is me some of the time, probably.. maybe more than I think.

I can’t think of an explanation, a suggestion, a fix-it idea that I did not offer you repeatedly and at length during our years-long communication, including what TeaK offered you in her recent post.

But what if much of my input to you communicated to you that “your wounds are invalid and is your fault, if you just thought these thoughts or did this.. you wouldn’t feel that way”-

Clearly, there is no point in me repeating myself, and you need something else (in the context of your thread), something as simple as: I hear you, noname. I can hear your pain, I see your pain, I can almost touch it.
