Happy New Year!
My sister and I spent the entire first hour of 2008 talking about our family, things that happened, our mom and dad and how to escape from it. She sees a therapist but I don’t yet.
What is wrong with 2 women, 40 and 46 years old who waste so much valuable time on this subject! It’s almost amazing and out of this world when we remember the things that we recall. People ask me how I even ended up normal but I’m really not! I don’t do things to be kind to people as much as I used to. I started out being evil as a child, wanting to hurt others who didn’t know me well, but not wanting my good friends to hate me so I was very good to them. I suppose some of this is normal. I just thought I’d say we wasted our first hour of 2008 on this dysfunctional family and emotional abuse subject!

Hi I waste every available moment thinking about this useless subject. My prblem seems to be control issues, I think I need to control everyone and take care of everyone, and I know whats best. I started out a CrybAby, being picked on fiercly, very slow, day dreaamer, then I found boys after age 12 and found a way to get attention, flirting, which also proved to be a downfall in life, slowly getting past that I’m having to face life’s real issues, I’ve been in therapy since I was 12 off and on. I’m 39 yrs female…HELP Happy New Year
I’m not so sure it’s a control issue. Mine is more like obsessing over things that don’t make sense to me.
