Now that I am getting older (just turned 41 today) I feel sometimes so insecure in ways that I didn't think would be possible at my age. and you thought you were rambling? I don't think my comment is making any sense!!! It amazes me how much self confidence my daughters have since I have none! But it makes me so proud to see them not caring what others think and doing their own thing. I think your daughter will be fine: dancing will help give her confidence in herself. that is such a good thing!<br>Maria<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764782321623480158.post-89656129705275583722006-10-02T15:56:00.000-07:002006-10-02T15:56:00.000-07:00(((((((((((((((((((TPIEZ))))))))))))))))))I am sor...(((((((((((((((((((TPIEZ))))))))))))))))))I am sorry you had to go through such a hard life.I guess our parents knew what they trying to teach us,I dont know.I should be blessed that I have good parents who are always there for us kids,even thoe my Dad does drink and which I dont like it,but He is a good Dad and will provide.I am again so sorry you had to go through all that and I know you will raise your daughter in a good way,which you already are.I have alot of fear inside of me,still trying to get out.I know my Mom and Dad was always so protective of me.Maybe thats why I feel they way I feel now.I love you so much and I know you are a good caring person and Mom.HAve a good evening.<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764782321623480158.post-64035242524521267552006-10-02T16:28:00.000-07:002006-10-02T16:28:00.000-07:00Through it all you turned out to be a pretty great...Through it all you turned out to be a pretty great person. :)<br>http://journals.aol.com/mrsm711/LatteDah/<br>TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764782321623480158.post-41093405317158555392006-10-02T16:40:00.000-07:002006-10-02T16:40:00.000-07:00sorry you had such a awful childhood:( have a good...sorry you had such a awful childhood:( have a good week<br><br>DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764782321623480158.post-31433030535067481292006-10-02T17:05:00.000-07:002006-10-02T17:05:00.000-07:00You've come a long way!

This caused a deep feeling of panic, insanity, and a feeling of of being out-of-control, along with fear of abandonment. I thought everyone who loved me was going to leave or die...and I, like you, was afraid of a lot of things.<br><br>But, when I started drinking, it created a pseudo-world where I could be bold & brave & reckless and not care about the fears that plagued me. Living in the chemical prevented me from learning healthy ways to deal with my fears & panic.<br><br>The last time I had a panic attack was, I think...in 2003, shortly before I quit drinking. I used to get these alcohol-induced panic attacks...where I would wake up in a cloud of terror...thinking, "what did I do last night? how did I get home? where is my car?" and the panic would descend on me.

T will grow up and outgrow panic attacks. I suffered from them until my late 20's. I guess somehow we all have to grow over top of the things we were taught as children. Miss T has you and that will make a big difference.
