Feeling Alone - A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

[MakersDozn]

We agree that it's important for the insiders who hurt to open up. Easier said than done.

We have been feeling out of sorts for a couple of weeks now. Internal communication is down. Walls among insiders are up. One particular insider (an adult) is vehemently strengthening the wall between her and everyone else. She would rather shut down than attempt to heal, and her idea of shutting down enough is if the system were completely nonfunctional.

We feel like our life is one big unmade bed right now.

In discussing this on another forum, we also mentioned that we have a great deal of difficulty dealing with anger. Anger has always been the most difficult emotion to process. We have lots of it. It seems like a bottomless pit, and we anthropomorphize it to frighten ourselves into maintaining the status quo, so that we don't risk our "safety." [Is that f***ed-up logic, or what?--Laura]

Thanks for being here.
