Well done. The feeling is familiar to me as I remember the first thought of mine after the suicide of a step-son who led a troubled, unsatisfactory life was, "At lest Ken is at peace." There is also, on the other side, perhaps, a tendency to deny the grief of the loss of the companionship. It hurts.
Thank you for the story. Very well done.
Ah, the sun appears, the dawn is here, all is clear as now it is apparent why you wrote the line in your bio. You have not exaggerated in 300 years. Right!! The check is in the mail, this won't hurt, I'm really your friend, this hurts me worse than it hurts you and I'm telling you this for your own good. Got the picture. :)
Thank you for a good description of a bad ailment. Sorry for your condition. There are a couple lines that leave me wondering such as how you trip over fans in the seventh stanza. This site is a bit clumsy so this will close before it allows me to look at your other writing to hopefully learn a bit more about you and yours.
Thanks again. Well done.

Breaking my heart. I'm very very sorry for your loss and hope with you that you've done the right thing and that you, your son and your husband progresses well.
Thank you. You write very well.

Hip, hip, hooray for you and your discussion of a most debilitating ailment. Thanks for writing as this helps explain behaviors which are perplexing.
Thank you.

LOL OK, ok, how much would you charge to let me send this little gem to a friend of mine with Irish roots? He raise five daughters but he'd get a kick out of it.
Thanks for the laughter. Very well done!!

GLAD to meet you G. B. Where were you when I lived in D. C. for a couple of years in the sixties and then again when visiting for a couple of days in the seventies? :) Would have liked to have made your acquaintance and rather suspect we'd have gotten on quite well. You seem to be a peach. (That's a good thing.)
Thanks for the write up. Very well
d done.
Very nicely illustrates how some folks manipulate others. Now, if you could explain how it is that they need to do that, it would be very much appreciated. :)
Thanks,

What a GREAT county! Maybe that isn't the proper term. We couldn't even treat the folks who lived her with sympathy and care.
Thank for the history lesson. More, please. :)

From your description you didn't seem all that bossy. :)
Your piece reminds me of a term coined by a fella who considered himself a relationship guru, to wit: "true-faced." It may be the case that even the most solid of us have trouble being "true-faced" all the time, but we can hope, right?
Let us hope that you have found good friends if this has any basis in life.

Huzzah, hooray, hip hip hooray and way to go!! And more such words of praise if they would come to mind.
Unfortunately, my general impression is that you are about twenty years too late since these things are best learned in childhood. BUT, praise for the attempt and more power to you and perhaps you'll get through.
Now, the the VERY serious question of how so many folks learned that they could ignore your suggestions and still get along in life and be fulfilled?
Thank you and I kinda hope you work it up a bit more.
This is rather foreboding. Are there more things you can tell us? I'd like to read more when you are ready to write. It reminds me of the history of two nieces who were badly abused in childhood.
Oh my der woman!! Laura, it is heartbreaking to read of your experience. BUT, let me think you from the bottom of my old, old heart for your writing and allowing me to read it. I commend you and thank you.
I have no advice but I most certainly have a request and that is to tell me or us what happened to you in your childhood. If you have not taken it, I suggest you take the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) test and realize how it was that you were unprepared for life. Please forgive me if my words go over ground you have covered but you got a raw deal.
