Book entitled primal wound

I'm reading a really fantastic book called primal wound. It helps adoptees to understand themselves a lot better, and it helps adoptive parents understand what their children are most likely going through.

One memorable statement in the book was something that really resonated with me. Its stated that most adopted children figuratively sit up in their cribs as babies and think to themselves well I'm pretty much alone in the world and there's nobody that I have to count on but myself.

That really resonates with me because of how abusive and neglectful my adoptive parents were, not to mention that I'm adopted... I do still basically feel that I can't truly count on anyone

Show has me in tears

Deeply moving to watch part 1 about Bruce and watch him try to explain to his family what's going to be happening. I went through something like this myself two times in an 18 month period with men that I was dating. one of them this was back in 1997 did go on to have the gender reassignment surgery, the other one did not but I went with him to transgender support group in Baltimore City. The following year the leader of the group was murdered for being transgender.

Ever since we came out of the closet with all this there are all sorts of TV shows on now, reality shows about other transgender families. I think it's wonderful and I hope that people will try to be kind and try to put themselves in someone else's shoes before they judge. as bruce says all he or anyone really wants to do is be there or be there authentic selves goodness knows I'm all for that

Lyme disease fibromyalgia and the rest what a living hell

It's truly a living hell I'm going to say I'm out of the house 12 to 14 hours a week ballpark. I've been in for more than 48 hours, they put me on cymbalta hoping that I would be in less pain but it's made me so nauseous but I'm afraid to eat anything. The pain aside the weakness is debilitating and its nearly impossible to get out of bed.

I can't state enough the importance of you watching the documentary on YouTube entitled under our skin

Today was a wonderful day

I knew that there was someone here in my town who is one of my Facebook friends but we had never actually met face to face. I happen to be in the library returning a book and I recognized him immediately. We spent the next hour and a half together I took him to the mission for dinner and told them the different resources for him to have a place to live. His situation is really horrible really really horrible. He is my age and he has cancer advanced cancer and he has no shelter and he doesn't get disability because he never got approved for his disability. He said he's literally been penniless for 7 months that is a horrible way to live I know because I've lived through it. He was a practicing nurse until the time that he got diagnosed with cancer so hopefully he will allow me to take care of him so to speak and reverse the roles for a change because I have the knowledge and resources to help him really get to a better position in life because I know the resources in my town like the back of my hand. This is the first time either one of us has ever met a Facebook friend in person and he's is excited as I am

Grateful yet helpless

The severe round-the-clock banging has started back up again around 3 weeks ago. Needless to say even if I do try to go to bed at a normal hour it doesn't matter because somebody's going to slam a door and wake me up. The last time I asked for help from the rental office she also was unable to determine where the banging was coming from. I could ask for a transfer as I have done in the past, but its all pot luck I could end up in an apartment complex even worse than the one I'm in. The only answer is to live in a home a house of your choosing and your neighborhood but you know that is not going to happen for me
