Well, this puts another slant on it. If I were to tell M anything...I would begin to feel abused by him. He is very straightforward and direct. Often I cannot bear the strength in his voice. I feel as if he is accusing or blaming or mad at me, when he is not. I could not tolerate a conversation with M about these themes or events we discuss. I am not even sure I could tolerate a real time conversation with you folk, Cedar and SWOT, and all.To wish this was so, Cedar, is to deny D H the treasure of knowing all of you.
How is it different than what happened with the nice young woman at Sears? Except in degrees. I shared with her the truth of who I am. It opened a door to her heart, to her pain. Any shame I feel, that is revealed to me...I have the opportunity to own and to put where it belongs. My choice.
