I Survive

druth Vlodovic: I've lived with an abuse "survivor", it was interesting to see her healing progression
druth Vlodovic: each positive step seemed to lead to more disaster
druth Vlodovic: but after a bit it seemed to me that her subconscious was doling out the pain according to what it thought her present strength was
druth Vlodovic: I wonder if this makes the darkness less inherently dangerous
druth Vlodovic: as long as your internal instincts are good
oO0Oo Resident: healing is a strong force in us
oO0Oo Resident: it doesn't always take the shape we might expect
druth Vlodovic: it seemed to help her when I mentioned this idea
oO0Oo Resident: how was it living with the person druth?
druth Vlodovic: awful :(
druth Vlodovic: lol
druth Vlodovic: it's hard not to be affected
oO0Oo Resident: yes
oO0Oo Resident: agreed
oO0Oo Resident: one needs to be able to take care of oneself within that
druth Vlodovic: one must always have an eye to their own strength, development, needs
oO0Oo Resident: :)
druth Vlodovic: but thinking of that it means I don't have to be afraid of what I might find inside
oO0Oo Resident: by doing so, others feel the sanity and support of that
druth Vlodovic: though I worry sometimes what effect it might have on others while I'm delving
oO0Oo Resident: maybe you need nither delve nor suppress, but allow to come up from the basement, whatever wishes to
oO0Oo Resident: then offer it tea
oO0Oo Resident: with gentleness to yourself, and your friend
--BELL--
druth Vlodovic: better :)
