My poor child

A shudder had just passed through my head. I am not sure whether I should be writing this right now. But I have to. There is no one to talk to about this. Not even Anouska. After all, we're supposed to be talking about me and my personal definition of what makes my life so shit. And, after all of this, I am still depressed and I still lack self-esteem and I still have no idea how to claw myself out of this.

And yet, my mother. I never thought I would be able to make any linkages today. I really didn't. But I have repressed this because I thought that there was nothing to be done if she wouldn't speak to me about it. Fuck. I want her to go into therapy.

How on earth could they be so stupid? How could my Nana's obsessive desire to stay in the good books of the family make him sacrifice the integrity of his own family? Screw the fact that Batool has schizophrenia. And for that fucking man who doesn't deserve the name he was given.

How could he send Mummy so far away? I am getting angry now. I have repressed this because I didn't want to hurt her. She has repressed it so well. Until recently, of course. Was it last year or the year before when she spoke about it? She has EVERY FUCKING RIGHT TO BE ANGRY.

I think I am going to screw everything and talk to her about it. I HAVE to. I want to help her; to heal her pain. I can never imagine how it would be to be sexually abused by someone who you thought was your 'brother'. And then you can't tell your Mum. So you tell your Dad. And what does he do? He sends you to boarding school in India. As Anouska says, it's like a punitive measure to someone who is just 13 years old.

I am getting really agitated right now. I want to kill that man.

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement
