The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I have heard this from others and now I see two more people feeling left out. What I always say is it is ok to ask for what you need.
Most all of us here are in chao's or maybe our heads are full of marbles. Raising my hand!!!! (c:
Anyway yes being in pain makes us say things in a different way than if we were not upset already.
I have been here long enough to really appreciate it when people are open and say what they need, or just ask for responses.
Also if you don't feel you know what to say, It is ok to say,"I don't know what to say, but I care and heres a hug." Or, "I hope you get the answers you need."
I remember reading a long time ago if you don't know what to say when ya write to someone just tell them that. People just need to be touched by each other.
So what I "need" is for you all to grab a rubber brush and some lotion and come over and brush pigs and put lotion on them...OK?
Too Funny. Y'all really have lightened spirits. :) I have a friend who really does find positive therapy in grooming horses. She doesn't ride but loves to groom them.
