Sun 10:30 am I get a call from an assisted living(I never applied) and request an emediate interview at 1 that same day. I arrive and wait after several minutes they informed me that they do not have an application or any information for me. I fill out an application followed by an interview by two of the managers. They beemed through my interview like I was better then they could have anticipated. An hour later I was informed by a couple of my reffrences that they were called, gave me rave reviews and I have the final interview Tues at 4. My angels and my spirit guide are with me walking beside me; I tell them what I need and with them at my side we can make anything possible.
I have been desperatly looking for a job, daily asking my guides and angels for help since the first of march 09. Dumpstering for food, pawning my belongings, selling plasma to put gas in the car and saving up to hopefully sell enough plasma to make rent. After the last few weeks of some very painful emotional healing I reached the light at the end of the emotional tunnel. At peace in the light my angels and guides (after my hard work) worked just as hard for me and I feel truly blessed. but Im getting ahead of myself let me explain.
A few weeks ago an email was sent to a group of friends including myself. This email was one that hit a deep rooted pain that after years of self healing and growth; I thought was no longer there.
"I want to remind all of you that I asked permission from everyone to call them on their bullshit If I am going to be your friend I need to have faith in all of you. If I do not sugar coat the package, it should not stop you from realizing the potential truth in the things I say My response to all of you about that is get the fuck over it this isn't a weekend retreat! It's not a goddamned seminar!" Like I said from the begining,drop your bullshit, I don't want to waste my time being fake I want you to think about any issues you have with me. If the only issues you have with me is that I'm too forceful, too in your face, too cocky, too authoritative, not sensitive enough to people's feelings, etc..; as opposed to taking issue with me for not communicating well, not doing my part, not pulling my weight, not taking responsibility for my fuck ups; then you should take a deeper look at yourself as I feel you are being overly sensitive. I know I can be abrasive. I know I can be forceful. Get over it.I do not have the patience to coddle those who's mantra is "Whah, fuck my life hurts!" Guess what honey, everyone's life hurts, get over it."
I was furious and wanted to jump to my "families" defense I was told not to defend, to let it go, don't make waves, you can't win so just bend over and take it. etc. It hit a deep rooted trigger I felt shame i didn't feel strong anymore that it was all a lie i felt helpless I felt anger i felt unlovable and found many examples that proved i was unlovable I felt small and defenseless. In our house phyiscal emotional sexual mental abuse you name it. It was always that way I was helpless I can take it against myself but friends and family I get almost black out protective I have to protect. I was an adult from birth daily responsible for a house full. I was 7or 8 years old and left with 9 foster boys and 2siblings while left "in my fathers care" and he took the good food mom purchased for the week she was going out of town and left me there by myself for the whole week to care for a house full. Keeping them busy so they don't interrupt the
Nintendo or TV game. I was the defender the adult the parent for in my mind felt like my daddy my brothers my mommy and my sister. Don't tell anyone, appear happy, tell what wants to be heard not the truth. It was very unstable, who would come home today, would what i was praised for yesterday be punished today. Always be on guard to protect the everyone from hurt. I have moved on and let go many many many triggers and heartache I thought i was fine now no more triggers no more pain. Then this! When friends and family are attacked I almost blackout defend. (it feels like)It becomes my life my breath my heartbeat i have to defend or die. If i fail I cant live with myself i crash. I crashed I decided I needed to address and move on from this trigger. I became consumed in it I had to establish am I addressing the trigger, the root and moving on or am I being consumed by it letting it take over my life under false pretenses. I have up to this point relied on myself to heal. Not allowing anyone to in to see how fragile i really was. As of Dec of 08 I decided the only person being angry would effect was me not my father so i took the steps to let go and on my terms started communicating with him over email. It soon became phone calls and texts and we now have a pretty good relationship I am not small anymore I have taken the "parental" role in this reationship and i am impowered. When this trigger hit after a few weeks I decided it was time that I let him be apart of my growth and my healing. So I wrote him an email I explained the trigger where it stemmed from and addressed life with him as a child. It plesantly surprised me to recieve this:
Kim~
I appreciate the courage and strength this took. I know its not easy to face the demons of our past, and to challenge the triggers that keep us shackled. I salute and honor you for doing this.
I can understand your feelings, and your frustration and anger. While some of it I do not remember, I do not question that it happened. I don't remember the week that you had to care for the kids by yourself, but it sounds like hell for a child. While I do not remember it, I cannot say I was above such behavior at the time. I was a child, trying to pretend to be an adult, a man and a parent. I was wrong and I apologize.
I do remember the Nintendo game. I was selfish and childish. I was consumed with it, and was unable to attend to anything else when it was out. That is why I have never bought a video game since. I just do not trust myself. I can have a cupboard full of alcohol, and a six pack of beer in the refrigerator, and never touch them. But if there is a video game in the house, I cannot resist it.
However, there is a bigger issue here. And that is my maturity and parenting skills when I was pretending to be your father. I was very immature, and placed unreasonable and unfair demands on you. I thought of you as my right hand helper, but in reality, you were more the parent than I ever was. Rob and Chelsea knew that if they needed anything, it was best to go to Kim. You were there for them, and I robbed you of the opportunity to be a child. Your shoulders were weighed down with adult responsibilities and chores, and you had little time to play and be childlike.
With love,
Dad
