I actually started a thread on it here but it got shut down due to controversy, so I won't get into it. But I hope it has a satisfactory resolution! As am I. I've been following it, too. You're not the only Canuck who's nervous about the results. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ask what he meant...I already knew. People say that you don't leave this life until you have done what you were here to do...and I think I may have done that already. I feel stupid for not seeing it sooner. LoneSquirrel, I only disagree with someone when I really feel it necessary. It's not true that there's no place for you. You have a place. You're wanted, needed and appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidSurvivor2011 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 May I propose a vacation for all members of the forums - our little island, no problems. Sounds good to me, anyone else interested? - KS 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salparadise6132 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Trump's got no chance, so please relax folks. (Of course, I said that years ago when Rob Ford was running for mayor of Toronto, so NEVER listen to me). It is truly unbelievable that THAT man is where he is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I just wanted to say that I posted something in my blog and there's some graphic detail. I'm saying this out of consideration to anyone who happens to venture in the blog area. I told off my child abuser today and there's some detail on my childhood abuse. I just don't want my writing to affect anyone who stumbles across my entry. I did this for myself not out of self-pity or to garner sympathy but because writing helps me a lot. So please ignore it if you don't want to read it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I won't be able to relax until the election is over, if then..... I wish I could. Won't the election be very close? What if it's one of those "too close to call" elections? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that missing one session won't make too much of a difference (the effect is cumulative) but I'll try not to miss it again in the next 5 weeks. Don't be hard on yourself. Is your headache due to the treatments, may I ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm crying now. I don't even know why. I feel guilty. I didn't even do anything wrong. I literally took it on the chin when I was kid/teen. I'm a grown woman today. It's not fair that I get to feel guilty. Don't read my latest blog entry. I've suffered for years and years, needlessly, at the hands of that man. It's not fair! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 5 minutes ago, CoolCat7 said: I hope it doesn't happen. That would be a nightmare. This whole election build up is a real nightmare. I can't imagine how I'd feel about it if I were actually American. What I most hope doesn't happen is that people (including young people and Bernie Sanders supporters) are too apathetic to vote. I need this distraction right now, I'm in a lot of pain and grief. The election build-up is fabricated. It's done on purpose by the media and civilians (well, some). I have had good talks about the election with people in my city irl. I have no doubt that there's voters' apathy. And this is what concerns me. Hillary is going against the worst candidate possible because Trump is gross and she still might lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm not naive enough to expect an apology now, as an adult. He never apologized to my mother. Why start now? So because he doesn't say the simple words, I'm sorry, which would have made all the difference in the world to me, I get to feel guilty for the very rare time I set a boundary (which didn't work). I did not see this coming, I did not plan on it or plan for it. Just venting/processing, don't mind me. I hope everyone's having a decent day. I know KS is suffering. Feel better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I should eat but I have no appetite. I never do when I'm upset. I set aside what I call an untossed salad along with a quarter of a pizza, well, bread and tomato sauce. I can't think and eat at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
