Thank you Jan. You have a sweet heart. After I read what I had posted I realized I did not use the word forgive once. It kind of threw me but I had something to do and let it go. After reading your post I realized I have forgiven my folks for so many things. Some detestable. Secret things...

North Star we have much in common. I could post a sign at my family reunion 'Alcoholics R' Us'. That was one area of my life where after 50 years not only did I get angry but I let go. Like you I was the one who took care of mama. Not because she was the alcoholic but because of the violence...

SteveO, reading back over my reply I realized it looks like I'm asking you to respond to my question about hidden rage. I'm not looking for you to answer that question. I have your book. That's what happens when you respond to something in a room full of people asking you questions. The good...

SteveO! I feel 10 feet tall and bullet proof! Thank you so very much for taking the time to help me. Tennis Tom is a good guy. How do we know when we are enraged if we don't feel it? I was at a family gathering when my son asked me if I had checked the organ donor box on my drivers...

Walt, You and your Annie are adorable. What a lap dog! Love your story and had to go to Amazon and buy a couple of your books. Annie is a lucky girl. You obviously take excellent care of your labs. 16.5 years is is a long life for a lab. God bless you!

Jan, Lord have mercy! I was digging myself a hole again until I read this. Feelings of helplessness were creeping back in. This is a beautiful place to come to. So much hope and encouragement. Good, caring people here reaching out to help a stranger. Beautiful! Thank you for you're...

Oh no! Don't apologize. I've found a lot of people see horses as the ride and not a friend. My horse Cash was born with a gentle spirit. Never bucked when he was broke and loved to nuzzle and had more personality than any horse I've ever seen. My husband was burying a 150 foot drainage pipe...

How sweet of you both. Tennis Tom thank you for bringing me here. My spirits are lifted. Yes laughing is good. I'm a little angry right now. I have a husband who takes care of everybody so I can't do anything about it. He's a good man. I have found that watching shows like Breaking Bad...

Oh yes! This helps more than a little. I am burning on the inside. This move was nuts. Why not see it on the outside. The first thing in the morning I check to see how flushed my arms are. I will start talking to myself instead. I can't believe I can get rid of back and foot pain and...

Cute cute Daisy! Thank you for your kind words. I went out by the pool that night because we were just told my old beagle Opie only has a few weeks left and I didn't want anyone to see me upset. Surreal. Wasn't my only loss. My husband decided our farm was too much work and we bought a house...

Thank you so very much tarala and North Star. What a nice welcome. You'll are both right on track. I have had buckets of stress the past two years. Parents illnesses and young person I love dearly battling heroine addiction. Folks out of work needing my help. I've been blessed to be able to...

I'm new here. I asked this question on another forum and was refered here by a helpful soul. I've been following Dr Sarno since 1998 when his book, Healing Back Pain, prevented me from having surgery. Over the years tms has reared it's ugly head but I have always defeated it. Since July 4th I...
