Still Waters, I'm willing to try counseling. I'm just scared to because of the bad experiences I've had before. I do think I am going to look into some places, though, and see what I can do to begin going.
Wascally Wabbit, that's just how I feel about my mom. I want her love so much, but yeah, I'm starting to realize I'm not going to get it, at least not in the way I want it. I think it's great you found a way to cope with everything. I hope I can, too, eventually.
