Maybe I watch too much


I noticed the neighbors outside for the 4th of July celebration. Multiple neighbors. Next door mentioned that they had come over and knocked to see if I was home to come out and watch them shoot off fireworks. At a distance, handed me a sparkler. Not quite sure what to do with that. Wave it about and enjoy the contrast against the night sky but there's really not too much exiting about a sparkler. Infinity symbol pattern by default. I noticed that I don't have much to say. I listen to the neighbors interact and understand everything that they exchange. There is no new information and I'm not sure that anything I have to say would be of interest based on the conversation. I'm quietly observing for some time. Next door engages and asks how the job hunt is going. I can't say that it's going great as there aren't any jobs that seem remotely interested. Even the recruiters that I give my resume to don't seem to be reading it or aware of what it is about. Then I mention the mushroom farm. Finally,  I'm excited about something and have something to say. Thoughts, ideas, more than just watching and discomfort.

Maybe the excitement of the mushroom farm is working for myself to bring something to others that has value.

But in dysfunctional families, the parents go far beyond the norm. They may try to control every aspect of their kids' lives, limiting socialization with peers, setting unreasonable rules, and never allowing their kids to have a voice in the home. Their kids will struggle to become independent adults. They may have a range of issues in adulthood, from poor attachment styles to profound self-doubt and problems with authority. — Gloria Brame, Ph.D., Therap...
