I’m feeling more peaceful tonight. I’ve made a decision to get on with things, even if it’s very scary, i did some 4th step work and faced the resentments i was feeling. It’s hard, i’ve been very solitary with my mom and my feelings and sometimes i feel like i’m becoming my mom. Just spending soo much time in my head. I’m really glad i gave all the money to chuck, it makes me feel good to be a reliably friend. I shared at the OA meeting that my life is becoming so much better, I’m making plans and Im sticking to it, and today i went to the bathroom 3 times to pray and just ask my higher power for guidance for getting through this time. and it worked, i went through the breakfast without gossiping about Anybody, i faced my fears and my internal shame and I just had a good positive brekkie and I played with my nephew. So happy it went well. I also enjoyed the time with David, enjoyed the lunch and walk and chat, it was heartwarming to spend time with a good friend. I’ve lost so many relationships in recent time. I belive now that friendships are transitory as all of life is. Friends for a day, frineds for a season, friends for a lifetime. Who cares, I’m continually growning and my old friends don’t know how i’m growing, they just remember how i was. it’s nice to make new friends without bagage. my AA programming makes me think it’s all my fault and I’m just a bad abandoning friend, I guess that What Merv, told me..fucking Merv “Learn what true friendship is” Well thank you Merv, you jolted me to look at myself and be more realistic as to what I could give and how to avoid crazy fucks like you.
I’m off to visit my cousin in pittsburg in a few days, it will be a good trip for me. I’m really looking to get some time away from mom and have some space for myself. I’ve made some space for the sadness, and the waves of grief to come, I welcome the tears and i know it will come.
I’ve been looking at my age and the things i do, the way I dress, i’m not really dressing or acting like a 46 year old. I really don’t know how i’m supposed to be. i think of how merv befriended me and that was always an issue becuase he was so clingy and i was 26 years younger than him i always brought that up, that he was trying to make friends with people younger than him, so that he could avoid the reality of hanging out with people his age. I feel like i’m doing the same, or maybe just emotionally, this where I’m at , i’m like a 35 year old emotionally in a 46 year old body, or maybe younger, that’s the thing with my wounded inner child that controls the show, i don’t know when I’m acting like a responsible adult or acting like a child. I really don’t know how all of this is supposed to work, i know that I’m supposed to connect with my inner child and deal with the problem (laundry list traits) by becoming my own loving parent to the repressed, abused and scared little Krisen.
