From: tsr3 on 17 Oct 2005 19:50 Thank you--you've given me a lot to think about. Like you, I did believe it was my fault (almost like the way an abused spouse feels). I kept thinking, "Jeez--all these kids can't be wrong--there must be something horribly wrong with me". I developed a deep sense of shame about myself--and I've been trying to dislodge this feeling for many years now. Like you, I also used to get off that damn school bus early, and I also loved the walks home. And pets--my dog Lori was just wonderful. I'm determined that whenever I start brooding about junk from my past I can never change, I will pet my cats, go for a walk, sit outside and look at the trees, just try to be thankful for everything that is going right in my life. --r3

V--that's a very good way of looking at those "people" who torment folks that are different. Thank you for your perspective.--r3 |
