Pilates and Therapy
More pilates last night. But just before my instructor came over; Seth & I had a huge, humongous fight. Like I am kicking and punching him fight. Yeah, I know. I am evil. Seth is great, but he pushed me on a subject that I didn't know was so raw.
My insides felt like hamburger. Once I calmed down I tried to find my center and focus on the fact that I would be doing pilates very shortly and I needed to relax.
So, Torey shows up and I put up a good facade, I'm good at that. Somewhere during my 100s she asks me if I am ok and I tell her. She says I'm a bullshitter. Yep. We get to talking about the fight and the next thing I am a sobbing mess. This seems to be turning into more than pilates, but therapy. I tell her I really need to go see a counselor because I am fraying apart. So tired of being frayed girl! She recommends someone. I think, Geez, I even have hang ups about going to my old counselor. Yikes!
The stunning conclusion is that I am grievig my dad and now I am grieving my mom. No she's not dead- not in life anyway. She just hasn't ever been a mom to me. With all this change we are embracing, I want my mommy to talk to and to care for me. But I don't have one. She is not the nurturing type. So I am pissed and sad and lonely for her. I am also pissed and sad that as a grown up I doubt myself all the time. I think it's because of being a child of an alcoholic and having to be the authority to defective parents when you're only 6 years old. I didn't have parents to guide me in life and that is effing retarded. I feel effing retarded!
What to do what to do? I blog. I read. I practice pilates. Anyway, now that I write all this stuff down I feel stupid. It is Friday and I have 15 days of my job to go and I want to be happy about it! Instead I'm just scared.
Seth says he knew he was pushing me, but he didn't know why. I think that somewhere in his spirit he sees that I need to get a grip on this mommy & daddy stuff. So get a grip Janay! Get a freaking grip already!

Janet,
I have been trying to write a comment a couple times here...but each time my computer screws something up...anyway, it is safe to say that you are definitely not effing retarded! But like you said, you are scared. And that's okay.
Also, I like those loud exchanges like you had with Seth sometimes...because they end up making us closer...we see each other as a mirror we don't want to see...but to love ourselves, we have to look at ourselves as we are...and I get to see things in myself and in my wife that I didn't know could come out...and when it does, maybe we feel a little ashamed of how vulnerable we are...but when someone loves you, they never turn away when you are feeling vulnerable.
I like Seth...and you, honey.
