It's one thing deciding they shouldn't be able to hurt you any more and another succeeding. I'm not even sure it's possible. Big big big big hug to you. xxxMwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-20971867614054954342011-03-07T11:44:03.609-05:002011-03-07T11:44:03.609-05:00You know what I think about it.

Two shows in a day is tough. You've done brilliantly.<br /><br />I hope you can deal with what's happened to you and your brother's behaviour. You know in your family you have succeeding in creating a wonderful reality, and you should be proud of that xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3324130156282012132011-03-06T13:58:35.710-05:002011-03-06T13:58:35.710-05:00handsandspirit- Thank-you, sweet lady who plants o...handsandspirit- Thank-you, sweet lady who plants on the verge. Thank-you.<br /><br />Lisa PR- In some ways, yes I have.<br />So very hard to believe that, too.<br /><br />Jo- Yes. Sometimes we ARE all healthier separate.<br /><br />SJ- As always, when I write, I know that I am not the only one. It helps give me courage to say what is in my heart- so many of us share so much.<br /><br />Elizabeth- You are so firmly tucked into my heart that you have no idea.<br />Thank-you.<br /><br />deb- Mostly, I don't let it get to me so much but when I am so tired and so emotionally drained anyway...Well. You know. <br /><br />Ellen- You are wise. You are experienced. And thus- I believe you.<br />And my day and night turned out to be fine. Better than fine. Very difficult but very good.<br />Thank-you.<br /><br />Angella- "release yourself from wishing things could be different, might be different, if only. there is no if only. things just are."<br />You are an angel who is whispering in my ear. <br /><br />Screamish- Well, he's been stuck in the same place for about three or four decades now. I wish he'd move the hell on.<br /><br />A- We all get up and do what must be done and sometimes- oh boy! The amazing results. Thanks.<br /><br />Lucy- I love your complete lack of sentimentality. You are that cold splash of water in the face that wakes me up and sends me on.<br /><br />Syd- Me too! But it sucks getting the old tapes in the e-mails. <br /><br />Bethany- You are so precious to me. And believe me- I have had a so much help to get where I am. I think that help has far outweighed whatever bad has happened to me and it has made me so grateful to be who I am, with all that has happened because with the help has come love and there is nothing on this earth which could have turned out better than that.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-24031844370478972772011-03-06T13:27:37.747-05:002011-03-06T13:27:37.747-05:00Ah Ms Moon, you are so wise.

When people start telling how and what to write on your blog, that crosses a line that disturbs me to no end. <br />I love your writing about how you are not a child anymore. I live in the same space often, confusing the now with the then. Thinking, I just want to be left alone, but I am not a child whose drunk father is harassing her, I am an adult, and alone feels sad and isolating. I can be an adult with boundaries. I am hoping I can figure out how to be near a man without losing my SELF. I am so so impressed with all the work you've done to have such a rich, full, loving, loved life. <br />Remember too, brothers can remind us of (and act like) fathers even though we know they are not the same. Brothers learn from fathers ways of relating and being and bullying.<br />I think you are doing great.<br />Thanks for sharing your heart, the messy, scary , confusing parts too.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510823788662848522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-16982787648979989532011-03-05T22:14:04.747-05:002011-03-05T22:14:04.747-05:00I know that feeling you describe.

I work every day at not listening to the crazy committee in my head that has nothing good to say. Those are the old tapes that play. I have new ones that are much better.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-31015688171473415582011-03-05T18:03:23.655-05:002011-03-05T18:03:23.655-05:00Spam your brother, and pull it together, Ms. Moon ...Spam your brother, and pull it together, Ms. Moon - you're an actress and the show must go on.Lucy At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681917596152035866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79840012928745543582011-03-05T17:29:45.790-05:002011-03-05T17:29:45.790-05:00I second LPR---you have succeeded.I second LPR---you have succeeded.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307534252847118376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-17006482304452908572011-03-05T14:59:33.442-05:002011-03-05T14:59:33.442-05:00wise words from the other folks here commenting, i...wise words from the other folks here commenting, i have nothing better to add...except maybe (maybe) for him your brother's anger is better out than in .

These ancient family dramas claim us when we are most tired. don't open the emails that may disturb your universe. don't. and release yourself from wishing things could be different, might be different, if only. there is no if only. things just are. and your children are beautiful and wonderful and you made them that way just like you are making sweet owen that way. that is what truly matters. you are extraordinary and kind and wise and good. let all the rest of it go. sweet mary. you are loved.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-8901399722549634192011-03-05T13:42:55.895-05:002011-03-05T13:42:55.895-05:00Mary...oh Mary I do so feel for you..and I send a ...Mary...oh Mary I do so feel for you..and I send a hug of comfort to you.<br /><br />Mama drama...don't read it if it is upsetting, if you expect it to hit and punch at you in ways you can't take. When I use to get the endless phone calls from my mom I was so grateful that I had caller ID. When I saw Private Caller I could pretty well guess it was her. I chose not to pick up the phone till I felt like I could. Or if she left a message I would choose when to call her back on my terms. I also learned to get off the phone even if I had to lie. <br /><br />If you feel the emails/phone calls are poison then don't take the poison. Keep your heart and soul healthy. And if you do feel you need to talk go find that wonderful man of husband and have him encircle you with the hugs of love. <br /><br />Learn to ignore what you know will be dribble. Take what is important and throw the rest out.<br /><br />I know you are gone when you see this but I am hoping that the last performance and all the rest of your day redeem itself and it becomes the day you would want....Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912709342270151365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-31182680133384154222011-03-05T13:35:42.124-05:002011-03-05T13:35:42.124-05:00It doesn't go away,

I felt so anxious, to receive them from my father when things were bad. I didn't want to see his name in my address list, or a highlighted in my inbox. The heart sickening fear and dread of it. <br /><br />I think you should blok them, or reroute them to a specific folder for some other time, or whatever it is your mail program iwll let you do. Just so you can get a break from it all. It eats away at you. And no, there's probably not a lot you can do about it. <br /><br />My sister needs, or at least need, something form me that I just coudn't provide her with - in the end we just have as little contact as possible, and that seems to work the best.
