Besides, I think I took a lot of stuff more personally than I had to - because I was an only kid. If I had a sibling, I would have been able to be just fine. I would have learnt much early on, that it was not my mistake that my parents didn't get along, that it was not my mistake that my father came to rely upon me. And I would have had someone else to cry with - instead of having to do it all alone inside the bathrooms :-).
But anyway, understanding all these things with my logical mind is far from being able to be emotionally healed. I wonder when I will be able to be emotionally healed. But atleast this is first step.
Logical wisdom and strength doesn't seem to be enough at all.. even logical insights about emotions is only half way. Real emotional healing is what makes people really happy. I wonder if there is a shortcut to direct emotional healing.. instead of going through this ciruitous route of reading -> information -> processing -> knowledge -> putting it all together -> logical wisdom -> understand it is not enough -> reading about emotions -> getting emotional insights -> gathering emotional wisdom -> emotional healing and happiness. There must be a way to short circuit it.. maybe movies are the way or hypnosis. (I think I am getting too much into my computer science logic. :-))
