thank you so much for writing your memoir and sharing your life. many of your insights were very helpful to me. especially the “whac-a-mole” analogy of emotional repression and the “jump or fall” parable.
i did not grow up with an alcoholic. my step-father was abusive and violent without benefit of drinking – and with the self-righteousness of fundamentalist religion to inspire and embolden him. but your words spoke to my heart with depth and contributed to a process of healing.
i also enjoyed your style of story-telling and humor.
thanks again,
lee
