AT ODDS WITH THE WORLD

Today, we are feeling at odds with everything. Nothing seems to fit. We have lost a very loved and good friend, because of circumstances beyond anyone's control, and this has put us into a sad and lonely place. Back to not sleeping or eating, we feel lost and empty inside. Nothing to fill that loss, that deep void. Have been walking several times a day, helps to think things through. But this situation, this loss, will not be eased by walking.

We will be seeing Scarlett, hopefully, on Sunday. We also need our clothes from the upstairs closet. My friend will go and get both for us. Scarlett will have to return to "him", of course, but only until the divorce is final...then she will be returned to me, where she belongs. We are so angry that "he" has kept her from us!

We long to have all of this behind us. We are still in a state of disbelief that "we" were arrested for, of all things, abusing someone. It is almost funny, when we think on it. We, who have never hurt another soul, who are actual survivors of physical abuse, now have a criminal record! Is this some kind of cosmic joke? We feel we have embarrassed our family, though much support is coming daily from all of them.

Lastly, we miss Doc! We hope that he still reads our posts, and that he knows we would be seeing him, if we had health insurance.

Thank you to everyone for your love, prayers and support. Without them, well...we would feel so much more alone. We love all of you!

Sueann for all of "Us"

"The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body and although we repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated. our perceptions confused and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth".
