What did you need, but didn't have?

  • An emotionally stable father.   Feeling safe.  Self assertiveness.  Direction in life.  Happiness.

    Let's try to fix that my friend. I think I'm good at that sort of thing. People call it empathy I think.

    I was never the one that would say, "I'm too busy."

  • There are times when not being heard might be best.  If the wrong person hears it can lead to belittling or just stupid comments... more hurt.

  • It is odd the mental connections one makes from seemingly disparate things.  I'm reminded of as a kid trying to learn the back dive.  Well I did a back flop rather than a dive.  That full back slap hurt... a lot!  It brought tears to my eyes to which the instructor said, "It couldn't have hurt that much."  Well obviously it did or I would not have had that response!

    Or crying at night from the fear and stress my fecal father created in our house.  That was probably best unheard.

  • Back dive, not flip.  No I took Dante's advice and abandoned all hope.

    A childhood. Life required that I grew up too soon. My survival was dependent upon it. 
    All worked out though. I've been able to provide what I need now, and I try every day to help others who find themselves in the very places I had to frequent.

    I've been very, very fortunate. My 'needs' have always been fulfilled. Even at the lowest points in my life I had what was 'needed.'  At this point I don't even have 'wants'.....I have what I want, as well.

    A father...he bolted when I was six and I never saw him again. It is probably the reason I have never trusted other men and have no male friends.
