DIARY OF AN URBAN MILKMAID |
PROFILE | GUESTBOOK | OLD | OLDER | OLDEST |
When I hear friends talk about their family members, aunts, uncles, grandparents - It's hard for me to relate. I mean, I have or have had, all those components, but I really don't have any feelings about them. Grandparents are gone, uncles are gone, cousins too probably, but I never feel anything about them when they die. And when my friends grieve over an aunt or a grandparent, I don't know what that is. I've had friends pass, and I get very sad about it. I still feel pain over my friend Marilyn who died last year. I know what that is. And the very idea of losing my child sends me into blackness. So, maybe it's the way my family was, and the way I was raised to think of them. It makes really good sense to me if I put it into the context of how we are with each other now, and how totally weird my mom is. Maybe she didn't all of a sudden get that way. Maybe she was always a psycho, and I just never noticed it until recently. It is interesting, that when I was growing up, I was always told that my dad was the problem parent (and believe me, he had problems...), but, the therapists I have seen, ALL want to talk about my mom. I used to think they were focusing on the wrong one. Hmmmmm... I'll think about it tomorrow, back at Tara. SLAY ON BUFFY!!
