Moving On

I am home from work today. I didn't get much sleep last night. My family has closed around me to comfort me. I know there will be days when I handle all this better than others, but its past time to close the door my half-sister insisted I open. There's nothing for me there. I am pondering looking for a support group for adults who were emotionally abused as children. I've been down the therapy path - I think just talking to other people who understand might help. Just to reinforce that I'm not alone & not to blame.

I have to focus very hard right now on taking care of myself - providing my body with the right foods, in the appropraite amounts, exercise, and plenty of rest. If I care for my body it will help my soul.

I haven't figured out what I'm going to tell my son about why we aren't going to his aunt's wedding. And I don't know that he will ever see her again. I worry about how all of this is going to affect him. My mom & I (with hubby too) decided that rather than go to the beach, we'll head up to Williamsburg to go to Busch Gardens this weekend. We love BG, and it will make a great getaway. I know my son will enjoy that more. Just need to figure out what/how to explain...

My dog Carmen is at the vet - her liver is acting up again. The vet says she may have a touch of pancreitis (sp?). I am scared it's getting close to time to say good-bye for now. But I refuse to think about that today.
