I missed going to Bridges today. I have a son home from school, so had to stay home and watch him. By about 3pm, about the time Bridges would be finishing, I was getting really cranky. I realized this is usually my one day out in a week where I can spend time with others who understand me, and where I am free to be me/we. I have Alters inside who obviously really enjoy bridges and the open interaction. I headed to my next favourite place for interaction with others like me Fort Refuge. It is not the same as sitting in a room with others, but it does help. That need to feel welcome and that you belong can be so strong. Even more that need for understanding and acceptance. How much more so for those who have spent their lives feeling they are bad, evil and unlovable.
Thank you to all those at Bridges, your contribution is invaluable.
