Rachael,

I just know that writing has helped me to 'hold it together' at those times.

So instead of taking my 'feelings' to my H...I take them to my keyboard.
I've spent countless hours writing fast and furiously as a sort of 'time-out', disciplinary technique over my unruly kids - rage, fear and anxiety.
I wish they'd grow up and leave home.
Brats!

I encourage you to do the same.

Sometimes in our darkest moments, all we have are - words.
