Thanks for not laughing mark. My father was diagnosed as having asbergers syndrome about 10yrs ago. Its basicly high functioning autism, so he is great with numbers and patterns and stuff like that but horrific with the people side of stuff. Both my brothers have it too and my mother and sister constantly border on nervous breakdowns from being highly strung. So healthy functioning is no specialty of mine, and goes a fair way in explaining why i ended up the shit-stirring person with no impulse control that i am. To be embarrassingly honest I took up MT so that I had an outlet for venting when it all got too heavy so your suggestions about communication hit a little close to home. RE. the whole inner child thing, it sounds stupid but I raised my parents and my siblings until i hit a rebelious patch and ended up in a school for behavioral problems and even then I went home for weekends and cooked a weeks worth of meals for them and did their washing and shoping. So my inner child is probably a resentful little shit. My god im confessing like Im on Oprah. On the brighter side I have an incredibly healthy sense of my own resiliance, I just get impatient when things fail on me or take longer than i would hope. All the best with your studies and thanks for the information. Could you please let me know the name of the body/mirror article and where i can find it.
PS. Im the female, I work as a psychologist for corrective services (blind leading the blind LOL), and I have only fought 6 times and Im only average as a fighter. My mate who posts under marlboro too is a male, he is a clearance diver in the Navy and is prone to nasty outbursts and is a worse shit-stirer than me, he has fought 13 times and he is a pretty good fighter but too far up himself.But we are friends from school and hes not a bad guy even though he manages to offend alot of people, you had to be pretty stuffed to make it into our school:)
