Good for you that you're getting out all your anger.<BR/><BR/>My BF has suffered from asthma his whole life, but luckily his dad was also a sufferer, so there was fellow feeling. Don't know how his dad managed in the days before asthma was really recognised as a condition, though. They had a good doctor early enough that BF's asthma has been under control for years, though he still takes two lots of drugs via inhalers every day. He tells the story that his younger sister used to be jealous because he couldn't sleep flat, and had to sleep sitting up! It certainly isn't something I'd be jealous of.<BR/><BR/>(Incidentally, I've been lurking for a while without commenting before - great blog).Tamburlainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284004546384496071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-1157127409235939902006-09-01T09:16:00.000-07:002006-09-01T09:16:00.000-07:00I'll never understand why we can't just recognize ...I'll never understand why we can't just recognize and process our childhood wounds and thus make them heal forever, dammit. Clearly, your parents and the other adults in your childhood dealt you some major psychic blows. God knows how they got so fucked up, but thank heavens you have risen above that treatment. Spunk and Courage, thy name is FN.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm glad you're angry. Rage at the people who did this to you if you must, but love yourself. Don't ever let it turn into despair or feeling you did something wrong. And as you indicate, living better than they did is the best revenge.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I've found that whacking the hell out of punching bag or pillow helps when things are feeling less "over" than I'd like them to feel.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Da Natorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192516325402230720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-1157125515825902082006-09-01T08:45:00.000-07:002006-09-01T08:45:00.000-07:00mj: i saw it happen to other kids too. and whether...mj: i saw it happen to other kids too. and whether or not you 'believe in' asthma, it tends to exist anyway. im sorry about your brother.<BR/>ara: all i want is for the useless rage to go away. they're dead. it's over. and thank you.<BR/>betty: thats true. the constant vigilance stopped. i hadn't realized it was such a big part of my everyday life until it stopped.<BR/>tim: i figure outliving them and flourishing was the less laundry-intensive option. anyway, catholics don't poo. it's a sin.FirstNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387748372500478809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-1157108481752254012006-09-01T04:01:00.000-07:002006-09-01T04:01:00.000-07:00You should have claimed to have "just psychologica...You should have claimed to have "just psychological" dysentery as well, and shat in their bed on a regular basis.Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-1157098819171415482006-09-01T01:20:00.000-07:002006-09-01T01:20:00.000-07:00At school I was friends with a girl who suffered a...At school I was friends with a girl who suffered asthma attacks, and I was usually assigned to be with her when she had the attacks (she would be dispatched outside the building so as not to interrupt the class with her tiresome ways). Distressing to watch, but fortunately she used to recover from them after a short time. I can remember one of the teachers saying "she probably does it as an excuse to get out of lessons". As a joke. The good ole days, eh?<BR/><BR/>As for the parents, saw and interview with Sopranos' creator David Chase the other night. He was asked how he felt after his awful mother and father died - was he sad, or was it a release? "A release" he said without missing a beat.
