Emotional Explosion, Aftershocks

I spent a while creating this post, crying all over again. After I got calmed down, I realized that I don't want to post all of it. I can't post all of it... not yet. So here are the parts I do want to share.


I had an emotional confrontation with my parents this weekend. It wasn’t something that was planned, just a sudden burst of emotion—then suddenly I couldn’t stop. [clipped]

This wasn’t some petty argument over driving privileges or curfews. [clipped]

I’ve learned that I’m the only one I can count on. Maybe this is why I have such an intense need for a Father figure. I want someone who can be there for me, emotionally and mentally. I don’t need him to physically slay dragons for me, but I need him to help fend off the emotional ones.
