Alcoholism is a scourge we also have in the family, you’re not alone by any means.

sorry
I didn't have that problem with a parent, thank God. My oldest son was an alcoholic who refused help or to seek help.

In response to "Identity Theft Leaves You Vulnerable "

Triggered my memory of having a Bank of Montreal account, ages ago.

I use a local bank where they know my face; but, identity theft goes far beyond that. One thing about WDC I like is that much of my writings are here which gives me a fighting chance to retrieve what I've written and a chance to prove that anything I've written is mine.

As for passwords... I can't remember them all. So, yeah, some are far too simple and others are written down. I use my WDC account daily. That helps.

It's okay Lyn's a Witchy Woman

. I actually like the song... and sometimes its good to get the blues out of you so that the sun can shine again.

Those two songs are my blues tunes.

After I listen to them it is often good to listen to something upbeat like Overcomer.

In response to "Say Something.... I Was Just Joking"

"I was just joking!" would be my pick too. I have some family members who deliver horrible insults then act like anyone who reacts without a hearty laugh has no sense of humor and / or is stupid. It's mean all around.

Big hugs on the song triggers.

Yes, number 8 is senseless. It only shows how flimsy and empty the ideas or the talk of the person who says it. Mostly, I shrug such cliches off.

The video is... triggering.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.

Yeah... #8 is cruel.

Making the Past Right

Blog City - Day 1344

Marge Piercy said: "“I want to do something very important. Like fly into the past and make it come out right.”
Have you ever thought about this? Do you use the idea in your writing?

I don't know if I would say I want it to come out right... but I want to change the details to my liking. To create a story from the drama and make it come out a bit more focused and black and white. The real thing can always seem so hazy. Each side has a story to tell; I just want to focus on one side or the other. There is also something to be said for giving a real event time... say, ten years... so that it can settle and you can get some new perspective and distance - particularly if the event was emotionally charged. Delving in, you can still touch the emotional impact, but you have space to move without the pain being fresh. Fresh pain distorts. Fresh pain leads to an idealized vision... that can also paint the characters into polarizing places - victim and angel. Characters can become caricatures of what they really are... and that is not good story telling.
