They were always panicked whenever something "bad" happened to me, including minor diseases. My dad is very attention freak too, when it comes to illness. He seeks more compassion and empathy and he acts like these are his last days. That's why, paradoxically (or maybe not) I'm not the complaining guy either, just like you. I've been through several illnesses without my parents suspecting anything and I'm still like that, I hate advertising my bad health, although I'm very luck not to have fallen sick in the last 10 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224289826245268265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9771388.post-7483043067439476972007-06-24T11:49:00.000-04:002007-06-24T11:49:00.000-04:00i must be careful here not to type a novelbut mada...i must be careful here not to type a novel<BR/><BR/>but madabandon -i see that so often! men, dads, with the <BR/><BR/>"you're fine!" -as if they can will it.<BR/><BR/>but it is very dismissive; ignorant and toxic to the soul<BR/><BR/>translated it says: "shut up/go away/i can't be bothered"<BR/><BR/>i like to think it is said more out of ignorance and lack of skill than pure, intentional neglect<BR/><BR/><BR/>-and i'm like that too. my brain leaping to worse case scenarios. -but better to take action, and be guilty of worrying too much, than inaction and be guilty of neglect<BR/><BR/>the soul responds to care; retreats from rejection<BR/><BR/>and your capacity for love, expressed in this blog, leaves me with little doubt that as a parent you would do all the right things to promote health and challenge illness <BR/><BR/>you are not silly... you are beautiful!SHEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826249683489196986noreply@blogger.com
