Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

I get you and Cinn to some degree. A lot of times I am like that with things, but mine is a bit different. Sometimes I am cold to more traumatically emotional things with other people when it doesn't involve me or my children. Like, someone can sit and tell me about their rape and I can totally separate myself emotionally. Yet, when I sink into depression, it's the opposite. So, either I just don't give a shit or emotions are exaggerated in my head. At least I don't have the mania to go with it, I suppose.

I have kids, but get the kid thing you mention. Maybe it makes me a selfish human, but if we are not all that close, I don't give a crap about looking at your kids pictures or hearing about their accomplishments.
