So many of us women have been in abusive relationships with men who demean, hit, mock, control and in general do everything in their power to whittle us down to nothing. If you are in a relationship you're not comfortable with because of any of these behaviors, You Are Not Crazy is an excellent resource providing insight for understanding your situation, and encouragement to give yourself permission to leave.

Not too long ago I wrote that Funnygal, my resident comedienne, is AWOL. Tonight it suddenly hit me that another part is MIA: Jenny, my 7 year old. These 2 parts are the ones I’m closest to. No wonder this has been a drab month for me!

So much has been happening on the home front (a new grand-baby, a daughter in-law with a staff infection, etc.) that I assumed my melancholia was due to dealing with the unexpected. Then I chalked it up to the fact that I’m closing in on another birthday. But birthdays don’t bum me out. This thought came to me just minutes ago, huddled outside with a smoke. I’m not one of those women who freak out about her age!

As I cast about for some explanation, it hit me. Another part is in hiding, and I don’t know how to lure her out. I’m not good at this whole multiplicity thing, it stumps me left and right.

Oh Jenny, please come back: I need you!
