I drank three gins last night ...

[justwhywhen]

And woke up really angry !
I dreamed so much during the night .. about some unhealed things that have happened over the years involving close family.
I have been very tearful about those dreams which are completely real life situations for me.
Did the gin do this to my mind ???
I don't normally drink it.

Probably more that the gin was alcoholic than anything more specific. I'm sorry you had such a bad night and it's affecting you so much today.

Thank you.
It's a strange one. I have a child who has anxiety but woth that anxiety comes the need to dominate and control every social situation.
It makes life miserable for him as nobody really wants to play with him and he shadows me so I have little personal space or free time. I am also a single parent whose children are with her full time.
My family don't really invite him to much unless they haven't a better option .
He craves their company.
They will invite other family members on sleepovers / plays and he is often left out.
It's so painful for him and for me to watch but I understand why .
He can cause trouble but has really improved.
All of this came out in my dreams and made me so sad but perhaps processing that is healing in itself.
