Thank you for understanding Mimi...That situation takes me right back to all of the anger, hurt, confusion and rage that I felt in dealing with my dad and his manias beginning when I was 10 years old...I never found a healthy way to deal with that-The last time I ever spoke with my dad he was screaming at me on the phone in a manic rage...No amount of counseling can take all that I experienced completely away I don't think, and I do have a wonderful Christian counselor with vast experience in that area...But it's just too personal and deep...and I need to quit reading her stuff and yet it's almost as though I can't look away...
I just spoke to a dear friend of mine on the phone who reminded me that I needed to completely give this to the Lord...I know that is right...So prayer is where I will take this...
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you very much...((((Mimi))))

My heart is right there with you in GRIEVING over your father...
My father died suddenly as an indirect result of his alcoholism which affected me throughout childhood...and still does...
I so understand the TRIGGERS and the GRIEVING...
We are SOULMATES in this regard...
I truly, truly understand....
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

I truly, truly understand.... I know you do and I am so thankful for you...My dad was what they call a "dual diagnosis", as he was an alcoholic too...He drank to try and slow himself down during the manias...which really only resulted in exacerbating his condition...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" /> Thank you again Mimi! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Mrs. W
