Dear Ashmitha:

You are welcome. I am touched that you care that I do not put myself in an emotionally difficult situation, thank you! Thing is, when I posted to you last, going through the exercise, I was not doing it for you alone, but also for myself: it helps me to  better understand my own childhood experience of intense fear. I  remember, as a child, hearing scary sounds, threats of violence.. and at one time, I too  held a knife against a parent.

I would like to return to your thread tomorrow morning, in about 17 hours from now.
