i once heard a psychologist in a woody allen movie (manhattan?) say, not the familiar freudian quote that we pick as our lovers people that most resemble our caregivers, but that we will love someone who most resembles the most dysfunctional member in our immediate family. ... i couldn't have agreed more but only recently have i understood my personal truth in this statement. in my case i'd say i have two really dysfunctional people in my family. both of my brothers. the older one is a drug addict, the younger one is most definitely bi-polar. .... and who do i now consider the true love of my life - my soulmate even? -- a bipolar addict.
well, let's hope the addiction aspect will change after J comes out of this recovery program.
i am posting quite a lot these days. i tell you, that's why writers are better off being miserable. no good reading material comes out of happy writers (unless you're into children's books or self-help stuff).
