 I broke down last night infront of my academic advisor. She was a clinical counselor for a long time before she became a professor. I wasn't even expecting it. we talked a little bit about my thoughts... what would happen if mom died, what if I killed myself. I told her that it was scary... it is. I don't want to kill myself, but I just can't help thinking about it. We also talked a little bit about my dad. She said he's a serial child neglector and serial marriage partner. I've never had his support other than financial.... and even that is limited. He left his first daughter, he psychologically abused my half-brother. Now he has a new family and grandkids... and new furniture for his house. So we decided that I was going to be able to lick this. She's been through the same things. The more I talk about it to people who can help me, the more I feel better. It's going to take some time, but my first assignment was getting an appointment, so I made one with the free counseling center on campus. I also went looking for an internship for the summer with a federal agencies. :) We're gonna make it after all! We can change our life. We just need to take that first step... that hardest step. Being Vunerable sucks, but when its to people who care; people who can give professional help--thats awesome. The next step is hard: having to tell mom. I don't want her to worry, but if I don't talk to her about all of me that makes the relationship inauthentic.
