ugh. I AM MORE SCREWED UP THAN I THOUGHT. Insert string of swear words here.
Pelican, as much as I hate to admit it, I think this is part of my problem-that helplessness hook. I've been trying to figure out why I resent THE GIRL so much. I don't see her as helpless. I see her as completly in control. A calculated nasty monster, protected by the parents she abuses. It's sick. I hate it. Why am I not seeing her as a victim? But elevating her to adult status? And it's none of my business. I am going to just detach and create big big boundaries for now until I sort this out.
After our conversation today, they might be doing the same anyway.
I think I should come up with a one sentence response to say to them though to memorize so I don't say something completly awful. Where is that filter???
