List Feeling Thankful
I feel thankful for my partner right now. Appreciative, grateful. I was just reading something written by a teen when I started to cry....here is what I was reading...
I am just abour starting to cry again now, seeing it again.... But I will get "back on task" as the Americans say. I feel thankful for my partner because I know that she would hold me while I cried. She has saved my life, almost if not actually literally. I felt too alone before P came to help me. It was almost unbearable at times. I thought of killing myself, many, many times. I've said before, I'm sure that I feel cared about and understood by P. I want to use her full name but she prefers I don't btw. I want people to know who she is and how special she is. At least she is special to me. In all the years I have been doing this incredibly painful work, she is the only person in the world who has stuck with me for so long. I am unbelievably hard to live with, to be around 24 7. I am intensely needy. And she and I are different in many ways. We have many, many conflicts of needs or NC's. I sometimes cause her a lot of pain. I often can't fill all of her needs. But she has stayed with me. And I am very, very, very thankful for that. S. Hein |
