I am about to tell my new therapist I believe I suffer from Dissociation. I saw her for the first time yesterday. I told her about the attacks I am getting from very real parasites who want to use me to get to my late sister and make money off OUR struggles to own sanity! For this reason I will not go into much detail, but I need to use this blog as a Work Sheet. I want to show photographs and read important remarks to her – off my cellphone! This is a new approach to therapy? I have kept a log with other therapist. There are pre-session thoughts, and after session thoughts that I will record, but not post. I am not interested in repairing my relationship with my daughter, as much as I am wanting to live out the remainder of my days with some kind of warm fuzzy feelings – minus my crisis. My dissociation is getting worse. When my daughter came into my life in 2000 I told her I can not handle much – real stuff! Best leave me to what I do best – WRITE! She wanted a Party Daddy with a magnificent and radiant personality who will impress all her shallow girlfriends. She did not care that I was – BROKEN! Everything had to be on her terms and expectations. She invented a Mental Condition for me on her facebook. I told her I was a real Party Daddy for twenty years when I drank. I came to believe she wanted me to go back to drinking so her friends would think well of me. I confused – and scared them! All this – inner flection! All that time – alone!
