Me? I'm as close to normal as I can be coming from this family... My boyfriend is a godancer. My boyfriend...he is from the happiest, most normal family I have ever met in my life...seriously I used to be waiting for them to let the crazy out...turns out they don't have any. Anyway he and I always struggle with the "I need you to be here and listen, but not try to give advice or fix something becauseit'snotfixableandIknowitandIamnottryingtofixitIjustneedyoutolistenwhileIprocessthisorsulkorcryrightnow" conversation...and I have wanted to kick him before too. <br /><br />I am so glad that your dad has woken up. I am continuing to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers...and I will pray for Nick too...that he can find the balance of listening and letting you handle and process things in your own way...and just be there for you without trying to fix anything or tell you how to handle it.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367153706298032485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-33172463766358320372009-04-20T18:22:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:22:00.000-04:00There will be a time down the road for dealing wit...There will be a time down the road for dealing with all sorts of feelings and emotions.

The truth is - this isn't the time for "why doesn't he just..." or "why don't you...." or even the simple question "Why?"<br /><br />There will be time for that later. Now you need support.

I've battled depression, and am always aware of it waiting in the background for an opportunity to invade and take over, and know from too much experience that the justsmilers and godancers and whatever are living in a different world than I am. It's not something I'm able to talk about beyond a small circle of friends, so I really appreciate that you do. And I'm still putting the energy out there for you and for your dad.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-62983766233689738022009-04-20T15:01:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:01:00.000-04:00i'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts, an...i'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts, and hoping for good things to come. make sure you get the rest you need, and hang in there.kate.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09967162934828397188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-22794871721585730772009-04-20T15:00:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:00:00.000-04:00It makes me smile to know you and your Dad were ab...It makes me smile to know you and your Dad were able to exchange I love You's.
