Hi @Former-Member
You did a lot today - well done - you did a lot more than I did - we had a really bad storms here today - cold wind and heavy rain - best day to read or watch TV or nap
Hey - your son doesn't have to agree with your beliefs but trashing them is a no-go-zone. I am personally a Christian but I also believe that a person has every right to their religion whatever it might be - and I have stood up for my Lord and I know you are a believer too and it must be rotten that your son is really bad-mannered and rude talking to you like that -
When my daughter was younger I had to pull her up with a round turn about the way she spoke to me - not about my religion but about some other issues - she learned and your son needs to learn too - and you are right - the Lord will be there for you whatever happens and when ever it happens and nothing can separate us from the love of God - not even crappy minded young people who have yet to find their own feet in life.
I feel really mad at him on your behalf
You have told your therapist about your mother and your girl talking to you so it's up to her but I know I have heard from my son a couple of times - maybe more - its been a long time - but I am totally convinced - I guess I never tried to tell a therapist but it would be uncomfortable - I think psychosis is more complex than that though - and hearing someone speak to you harmlessly - ah - I don't know about the therapist but the fear of having this on a record for the likes of your sister or ex-h finding out - that would be horrible
So it does beg the question of how open we should be with a therapist. We are there to help sort ourselves out - because I keep losing my therapists I am wondering how committed they are to their work but still this sort of thing is supposed to be confidential - it's not a crime to listen to the dead after all
But I understand how creepy that makes you feel - and depends on what the other person believes and if we have different gifts then this is our gain.
When it comes to anonymity I think this site is very safe - I don't want my sister finding out what I am writing about and so I am careful about details and spread info over a lot of different areas but it would be time consuming for anyone to look and follow this up
Creepy feeling - I know - I don't want anyone reading what I write unless I want them too - I think it's safe here - I really think you are safe here too - just don't give your sister any idea of where you are writing
I understand - sending more hugs
