STILL SLEEPING LIKE BABY

I WOKE 11, 3 FROM NIGHTMARE OF BLOND MAN THREATENING ME WITH KNIFE FOR MY CAR IN TOWN 30 MILES FROM NEWARK.  IN FACT I DEFENDED MYSELF FROM WILL WITH A KNIFE AFTER I DECIDED TO LEAVE/DIVORCE HIM.  I COULD SEE IT WOULD OTHERWISE END WITH ONE OF US DEAD.

MOM THREATENED ME WITH SHEARS WHEN I WAS 16 AND I'D LONG AGO GIVEN UP HOPE FOR LIVING.  I LIVED DEPRESSED MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD.  IN MY 30'S AFTER I LEFT WILL I DIDN'T KNOW LIFE COULD BE OTHERWISE.  I FELT DIFFERENT.

WILL, BILL, TOM ALL HAD BEEN ARRESTED.  DAD PROBABLY TOO.  MOM SAID WE MOVED TO MAINLAND TO ESCAPE HIS BUDDIES.  I THOUGHT TO AVOID FAMILY.  SHE ISOLATED ME.  RICH AUNTIE KATCHAN WANTED TO ADOPT ME.

I'M FEELING SO MUCH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS FROM THE PARENTS' LAST YEARS I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO EXPERIENCE WHILE IN SURVIVAL MODE.  20 YEARS WORTH.

I WENT TO MAIN LIBRARY TO RETURN STOP SMOKING AND PICK UP FRANK.  I DIDN'T FORCE MYSELF.  I KEPT FALLING ASLEEP SO RELAXED.  I CAME HOME 2:30.  PUTTERED AROUND AND FELL ASLEEP TO CARTOONS.  AFTER A 3 HOUR NAP I FELT GOOD ENOUGH TO COOK ONE ONION 3 POTATOES IN CURRY OREGANO. 

I WAS TRAINED TO TORTURE MYSELF AND NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY ANYTHING.  IF I DIDN'T THEY TORTURED ME.
