Hi @utopia

 

My head feels okay - I spun out yesterday - I tend to be a bit delicate at times and thinking about it what I felt was something like character assassination - really bad - I guess it came out of left field and smacked me in the face and I could definitely do without that

 

You are right - it's not a continuum like a spectrum disorder - we all have our issues and things that make life a mine-field - for you Work Cover is like an army planting obstacles for you and I remember you spinning out last year and that was really bad - and we are into May now and you are just starting to come out of it - that is a kind of measuring stick for how bad it was for you

 

My anger is spent - one thing we are taught as girls is that it is bad to be angry - such a mistake is hard to grow out of and the more women I speak to the more I find have the childhood expectations of their often European mothers doesn't easily fall away - 

 

My brother was the one-out in our dysfunctional family which must have seemed the perfect sit-com family from the outside - not from the inside though - but still he had choices my sister and I did not and here we are

 

Today I realise we are into May and if I am going to be hounded for the $55.00 I will be getting a statement soon - let's imagine I will not but I will keep a corner of my mind open to it. As you said - I am strong and knowledgeable and an accountant as well so I know it's not in their interests to push for a small amount of money - 

 

Amazing though - it seemed it mattered not that they lost a client for such a small amount 

 

But you speak great truths Utopia - you have learned through your own journey - I really understand that - I have learned through mine
