Hi Jenn,
Yes anger is fucntional. I was always taught in those millin and one psych courses that anger is the great defense against feeling the paid of grief, loss, sorrow.
And I have been very good at doing anger for a long time. Not so good anymore tho'. I am not more and more able to get in touch with the grief and sorrow directly.
When I reread this emotional clearing vent I realize why it is difficult for others to respond. It is so interanally personal. There really isn't much anyone can say when you lay your cards on the table in a way that is so deeply personal except to be there and hear as witness.
For me knowing I have been heard is what I needed. Receiving 'poor babies' is the bonus! L0L
I am still feeling sad and frustrated, but also realize the only way to change that is to choose to feel differently so I have chosen to do so. I have chosen to feel successful, joyous, safe and at peace. So be it!
Thanks for your post. Pregnant Donkey! Funny I thought you wrote it.
