I hope writing about my struggles and research/use of alternative methods I am using to battle this will help you with making strides in yours. This is one of the main goals of this "blog". I am sorry to hear about you losing your father at such a young age. I have not lost a parent in a "traditional" sense but plan to write about issues I have of leaving my father at two and not meeting him again until I was about 9. Then I seen my my mother once before I left for Iraq and never again. I hope in someway when I write about this that we can relate in a deeper way that may in some way offer healing. Those will be tough sessions of writing. Has the hair on my arms standing up now. Thanks for being there with me. And I with you. Happy New Year.
