[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 657917, member: 18958"] I relate absolutely to this. I have always been private and guarded. I guess from the beginning I had secrets. A secret life that I knew nobody around me shared. From the time I was a little girl, I have been like that. I remember I did not let friends' parents drop me off in front of my house. Instead I got dropped off on the corner. Years later I realized my Mother did the same. She got off at the streetcar stop after her house so that she could see if finally one or another of her parents had killed the other. She would know by the ambulance in front of the house. Even before things got hard for us, I trusted few. My life has proven to me, damage and care come from others in equal measure. I preferred to avoid the damage. Thus forfeited the care. I forgive myself for this. I miss friendships...and will in time, seek them.... This I understand now: Few others will willingly go where me must. And this is the select club in which we find ourselves. It is a blessing, I now believe. When we are stronger, we will again seek the light of others. For now, we lick our wounds, restore are strength. And we have each other. For now, for me, it is enough. [/QUOTE]
