As this wretchedness grows and grows I remember that this is much what I went through during the months after my husband died. It feels much like profound grief. Then I get these slight inklings that this is also much like it felt when my father was belittling me while praising others. It is something like a kick in the gut.

I cannot tell you how difficult it is to do the things on my list to do -like decorate the Christmas tree. I am so drawn to withdraw and go into a fetal position. No Can Do!!!
Oh' my Dear... I wish I could hug you ... rock you in my arms until forever tall you can stand.
I do understand difficulties of how you feel and I understand how difficult it is to find the way out of the despair and perhaps despondency you feel trap in now.
I wish so much for you to find a hope in a forward day in time to see you self in freedom from all that has ever hurt you!
