What do you do if you can't/don't 'trust'?

Dear Rosencrantz:  What you said is exactly where I am right now, too, (FINALLY).  

You said:  
--- Quote ---4. I can discriminate. I can choose who to believe. I can choose who gets into my support network and I can choose those things on which I ask them to give me that reality check. I don't have to treat everybody the same. I know they have different experiences and different blind spots and I am finally 'allowed' to take that into account.

Isn't it exciting!!!

It IS very exciting, even though I'm still way shaky about something that seems so obvious now, but that in 43 years never, (and I mean never ever), even dawned on me.

Thanks again; great thread all!  Warmly, Peanut[/size][/color]

rosencrantz:
I love your enthusiasm, Peanut!

rosencrantz,

I'm happy to be helpful. Hey, everyone needs reality checks.  I need them all the time. So it's good to find decent reality-check people. And *you* get to choose them.  :)

--- Quote from: Portia ---
Reminds me of a B&B we stayed in. Flamboyant older woman owner, big lady, big voice, colourful clothes – vacant eyes. When we arrived I knocked and after no answer, walked round the back – she was nude sunbathing, with the local air-sea rescue helicopter circling overhead. Anyway, she had a local lady who made breakfast etc. That local lady – spinster-like, small, angular, dressed in black – ran the place and ran rings around the owner. Her breakfasts were very pretty – kippers laced carefully with orange slices – but served stone-cold. We got out as fast as we could. And the local lady wasn’t pleased.
 


PS Enjoyed the old joke Guest. Reminds me of the even older:

Masochist: “Hurt me”
Sadist: “No”              
(which has been beating about my head for a little while now.)

Oh Portia thanks for the laughs. Love the joke, hadn't heard it before. Rosencrantz is right, get to work on the novel. Race ya'. You took me to the B&B and it was better than Fawlty Towers. The owner sounds like they cloned Kathy Bates in that Jack Nicholson movie after. What was it called. Oh yes, "About Schmidt." She climbs naked into the hotub and Jack takes off. Hilarious. What disorder was he portraying, I don't know? But I think he had a good healthy dose of NPD thrown in as well. Eeuuhgh!!! I hate kippers.

Bye

Hi R,

I get the sense from your recent posts that you're having all these epiphanies - and they're surprisingly guilt/shame-free :D :D  

Don't really have anything to add at the moment  but this:

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
