a thought for you, Hops
« on: September 14, 2008, 09:12:54 AM »
I remember when I first began therapy and healing seemed a light at the end of the tunnel. Surprisingly, my symptoms got ever so worse, the tapes in my head played louder and louder even with my face over the throne, heaving. My anxiety about doubled, and I was almost nonfunctional. My wise therapist made a comment that changed my whole perspective: She said the demons (yes, she used that word) get scared when their usual tactics don't work. She said they must be desperate when so many of them and so loudly had to attack me through my most vulnerable places.

That's what I think about your demon brother. His first few attempts have not yielded the results he wants, he's getting scared, so he's enlisted more demons to attack you through your most precious areas - your D. Maybe thoughts of his desperation can help you see you are actually winning.

That is a great way to put it, towrite. It is obvious he is stepping up his tactics since he cannot break through the "rightness" of Hops.

YES! Beth - you hit it on the head --- "the rightness of Hops".

Aww, thanks.

I do feel the uncle's letter ultimately could undermine my brother.

Meanwhile I still need to juggle very tight numbers and do things properly.
A bit anxious about that.

S  v  a  kn  in  (whom somebody taught me never to spell properly as he's an Nstalker) whom I usually dislike, had a passage about N's enlisting others to help them abuse someone, and it was so spot on in this situation. I will look for it.

I can tell you about the RIGHTNESS of the kind people here!

love,
Hops
