Yes, absolutely. My mother is 80 years old, had open heart surgery last year, so there is no possibility of bringing up these feelings with her. I have discussed it with MC and WS. That's about all I can do. My WS suggested I write a letter to my mother expressing all these negative feelings I have for her and then tear it up and not send it. I might. I have gone through these feelings before with several Gestalt therapists but apparently they are still there, although not nearly as intense as they once were.
Slowly, am I reading correctly, do you all live in or around London? Our church chancel choir had plans to do a performance tour of England and Scotland several years ago. It got nixed because of Iraq war and downturn in the economy. I was pretty sore about that; we were looking forward to visiting Edinburg, York, London, Oxford. Well, another time.
Thank you for the reply.
