[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And, that you feel you need to swing your 'most dysfunctional family imaginable even my therapist was shocked' badge around speaks to some of your continuing issues. I suggesting finding a different therapist to discuss your need to pull that badge.

Oh, please.  I haven't been in therapy for years.  What's the matter?  Afraid someone "one-upped" on dysfunction?  Childhood ends and life goes on.  Some of us--despite crappy starts--do put it behind us.  Give it a try.  It is liberating.[/quote]

IDK, I agree with the PP.  If you're so healthy now, why did you feel the need to preface your opinion with the 'most dysfunctional family imaginable' claim?  I mean, it's enough to say you grew up in a dysfunctional family.  Why the need to say 'even my therapist was shocked'.  It seems like you think that gives your opinion more 'cred'.  Putting something behind you doesn't mean you can't ever be discomforted or pissed about it.  Mother's Day is once a year.  Folks with shitty moms are allowed to kvetch about the lack of appropriate cards.  Personally, I wish I could find one that said, 'Happy Mother's Day.  After what you've done, you're lucky to have any kind of relationship with me. I love you'[/quote]
