See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
A big part of my therapy time these days is talking about how much I still want my parents to forgive me for making them so angry at me.
Oh, hey. Self, that is a very sense-making way to frame it.
Everyone gets the magic blankets and a lap to lay down in so your hair can be smoothed while soothing coos are made in your general direction. The stuff you should have gotten as kids.
I need that so much right now. I got accidentally triggered this morning, and it's very hard to be all adult and responsible right now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aims, what a gift it is that you and your parents have been able to work through this together and separately to have a healing/healed relationship.
Seeing my father change from a man who was ruled by his violent temper to one who was the kind of old(er) man that little kids flocked to was very healing. I wish more people could have that gift.
msbelle, I strongly believe that parents who are perfect or close to it do their children a disservice. If you never have to say "I messed up, I'm sorry," to him, how is he going to know how to do that himself?
Tom, I am so glad that you have a therapist who is working with you. I wish it were easier for you.
I strongly feel baby alpacas could improve morale as well.
Coconut oil in prepackaged low-sugar apple-cinnamon oatmeal is... not wonderful. Each bite starts out "Oh, heck yeah, this is what Teppy was talking about!" but ends with "Eh, weird, no." Which means that I'm going to have to try it again sometime in properly homemade oatmeal.

Here is my regular dog pushing post for Tom Scola
These dogs would really like to take walks with you while you are taking photos and then snuggle with you at home. THEY TOLD ME SO!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
How do you guys deal with triggers over the long term? Has it been something that has gradually improved or lessened?
