| My most hurtful experience was in action not speech. My mother hung herself in her old house after she said she was missing it, so I gave her the keys, despite knowing she was suicidal. I betrayed my trust in her. I understand she was mentally ill at the time, but that has not been a comfort to me. ... |

And if you can't, cut them out. Obsessing over it does a lot more damage than absence would, and sometimes with... |

| The keys to Aspie happiness are these (IMHO): 1) ALWAYS make time for yourself, no matter how much work you have to do. 2) Meditation, meditation, meditation. Coupled with some relaxing music, and.or nature sounds, this works wonders on taking the stress away. 3) Just don't give a you-know-what. St... |
