Mummies

Besides being a fun topic for Halloween costumes, classic horror movies, and summer schlock busters Mummies are people we have to deal with in life.  Mummies are people who cut themselves off from the world around them.  Not necessarily literally although there are some that becomes hermits entombing themselves in their safe environments, many times…

New Computer!

Yay!!!?????  *sigh*  I knew it was time, but the last day of Mercury Retrograde pushed more poor limping baby over the edge.  So today is all about getting everything set up, ported over, reinstalled, reconfigured….It’s not that I can’t do it. I can.  *mumble grumble*  Not the way I wanted to spend my Saturday…*mumble grumble* …

Emotional Incest

Most people have a visceral reaction to the concept of incest.  It’s lizard brain stuff to some extent because we’re wired to not want to have progeny that would be unhealthy and having a family tree that doesn’t branch causes those kind of problems.  Then there’s the higher level things like broken trust, destroyed boundaries,…

Most everyone has head of co-dependence whether they actually know what it means or not.  Thank you, Intervention.  It seems so much like caring for the other person.  They have such troubles and can’t seem to get out of them, everyone needs support sometimes and so it’s necessary to help them through this time and…

Sometimes You Have To Flail

When Should I Do It?
