What a beautiful recounting of a day and all the emotions and interactions inside of it. I like the way you incorporate the information from The Body Keeps Score and I can totally relate to way you mark up the book! Thank you for this essay. Best wishes.

Moms are wizards! Kudos to you for acknowledging and trying to repair the relationship with your father. I am in the same boat as you are with my father and I keep telling myself to try one more time.

I am glad you have resolved to mend a challenging relationship. It gets harder as we get older.

Since you already have this awareness, I am sure you can heal and help others too. Best wishes to you.
