Dear Anita:

Thank you for letting me express these feelings, it’s a deep sensation rooted in me hating the idea that my father abandoned me and chose to let me fend for myself and the abandonment that it entailed. I feel betrayed because my parents didn’t allow me to fully complete my aspirations, I was a good student and I can’t help but feel I could have been so much more than this in another career or field.

I lied to my therapist about my real issues because I am somehow afraid of talking about myself or what is hurting me because I don’t want or don’t know how to explore my emotions or reactions, sometimes I feel like I am making it into a bigger deal than it is.

You are a healer, thanks so much for everything you do for this forum. I appreciate you.
