Raises her arm and smashes it to the floor. And the glass mug breaks into millions of pieces, shatters everywhere. She looks at the young boy and tells him, the gift was stupid. It was useless. You are pathetic. You are dumb. Don't ever buy me anything ever again. Now, that was December the 27th, early 1980s. That young boy was me. And that event has stayed with me my entire life

But I really appreciate what you're saying because I've experienced so much of it. And I thank you for being so exact and communicating that so clearly. Thank you. God bless you. Bye
And it was like it unlocked something. And all of the different pieces that didn't make sense sort of fell into place. And suddenly there's clarity now and there's been healing. That is one way that your vulnerable gift has expanded for me, within me, I guess you could say. Another is I was reflecting then on gift giving and then realized, depending on the person, depending on the relationship

But you do at some point want to just be able to move on and take whatever is valuable from it and move on. And you really can't put the pieces back together most of the time. I know that's a physical object, but I think some cases you really can't put the pieces back together and you can, I guess, be trapped and spending your life trying to as well. It's something I'll never forget, obviously, and it still sticks with me

So I could hear your own emotion and you probably have your own stories of things that have been shattered. So I don't know if it brings any comfort. I just hope it indicates and shows that we've all got our stories of shattered things and hopefully something good can come from sharing it. I don't know if there will be. I'm grateful for the positive replies. So it's one of those things that's a little. Do you put a swell out like that?

And you never know when it's going to hit you. It's almost like. I guess it is a form of PTSD that stays with you all your life. And there's emotional triggers, there's smells that trigger it. Like you say, even something in a book, it's always there. It's like a scab that doesn't heal because you just keep picking at it anyway. You seem like a wonderful person and you didn't deserve that as a child. No child does
And if possible exteriorize if you feel like crying and then I would think things can go by at least by going over to going through tears you could feel what you have inside and the fact of experiencing things more concretely as it were through tears at what level it is all then it can go by but I'm not a therapist I'm just somebody who has had his experiences and I haven't had such an horrible experience so I'll check what the other people have said since the 31 December and anyway yes, us I'm with you there I have empathy and I'll feel with you cheers
Hello, Trevor, it's Zach again. I listened to Susi Lou, Susie Lowe. I'm not sure it is her correct name. The woman who replied just before me. Yes, and she spoke about PTSD. I didn't know the details about it. I looked it up and yes, I think it is full of useful tips that is already for me
