The thought of going through my mountain of boxes in search of the report cards that I know are in there is terrifying! I could get swallowed up in that for weeks!
For now I think I’ll just try to put together a list of effects/incidents that stick out from my childhood, and the things that have been plaguing me for my adulthood. The more research I do, the more I remember. And sometimes when I say it out loud it sounds silly. Like the time I stood over the kitchen sink for the better part of a day with a big bowl of strawberries that my parents wanted me to clean while they were out. Think I did it as they pulled in the driveway. Panic & fear of reprecussions are my best motivators. I’m sure I did a hundred other things that day, continually coming back to the strawberries, unable to do the job. Actually might have been the day I set up a still-life photo session in the living room….
Anyway, I know I’m going to feel more than a little ridiculous telling stories like that, but that’s my experience…
