Thank you, cubic_me. Your words move me deeply, and I cherish your writing them to me.
Clearly, in spite of the hurt and sadness that you have had in your life, you have somehow managed to maintain a gentle, generous nature. I hope someday, your therapist will be fortunate enough to get to know this inner dimension of yours.
A pdoc I used to see once compared the communication dilemma we seem to share with something that happens between chemicals. As I understand it, when a chemical is able to react to the same degree with each of 2 other chemicals, it becomes totally UNable to react with either of them in the presence of the other. It gets stuck, as it were, between the two, and ends up inert.
We get stuck between wanting to speak and fearing the consequences, and we end up silent.
Maybe a chemist can give us some advice?
