Thanks GS,
I still cannot answer that question--it is about connecting with self and It seemd like one heck of a long reach.
I wrote 19 pages then re-read today. I switcherd in the middle and realized I was writing to my therapist, no my daughter. There was too much extraneous info for a letter to daughter---it was so therapist could understand. She can ask me if she needs to.
It was a good exercise because I am not angry, per se, at my daughter. I am furious at her ex-husband, the N.
I still have to wonder who abandoned whom in 1991.
love
Izzy
I should think a good long no holds barred letter to you ex SIL would do you a lot of good. Rage and vent every terrible feeling that slitheres around inside you. Re it then vent some more and so on. Margo
