I was listening to a psychic medium on you tube, when the host mentioned a book entitled “The Untethered Soul.” It immediately piqued my interest. My massage therapist had that book. So I went to go buy it. It was the last copy at the store. What it means to me after talking to the… Continue reading Untethered
More on Suicidal Thoughts
PT3 While I only tried to kill myself only once, the suicidal ideation continued for years (decades!). One example of this was I would play “chicken” with cars. Crossing the road while a car was coming, luckily, I never got hit. But that was one example of my strong desire to die without committing suicide.… Continue reading More on Suicidal Thoughts
Overcoming Decades of Wanting to Kill Myself
PT2 One thing I will say about my unsuccessful suicide attempt, was that it wasn’t my exit point. That’s a recent revelation on my part and I will be going into it in a future post. At any rate, it was not my time to go, hence the unsuccessful attempt. I did not know that… Continue reading Overcoming Decades of Wanting to Kill Myself
How I Overcame Decades of Wanting to Kill Myself
I went to an in-state college not too far from my hometown. I was so unprepared for college life, actually, life in general, I did not have to skills to deal with everyday life.

First my cat, then my younger brother.
I initially began this post regarding the death of my beloved old man cat, who I had to put down shortly before Thanksgiving (U.S. holiday). It was quite an affair for me.

More on My Cat and Neglect
Upon reading Stevie’s background, I at least understood his background. Perhaps that could give me a clue as to why he triggered me. I had no idea that I’d ever suffered from neglect. Neglect to me was a kid living in squalor conditions, something sever like that. That never happened to me. I remembered I’d… Continue reading More on My Cat and Neglect
More on How My Cat Triggered Me.
My new cat Stevie came from a horrible neglectful situation. And it was that neglect that triggered me. I wasn’t sure what about his situation triggered me, so I went online to investigate (the internet can be good for some things)! Anyway, I decided to research the difference between abuse and neglect. At that point… Continue reading More on How My Cat Triggered Me.
How my new cat triggered me.
About a month ago I went over to the local humane society to see about adopting a cat. My beloved cat had died during the pandemic, and I was getting “cat fever” to get another one. My initial intention was to get 2 kittens so they could be together. That is not what ended up… Continue reading How my new cat triggered me.
Side Note
I was going to discontinue this blog, hence the inactivity. I originally started this blog after setting up the original one only to discover I had fat-fingered the website! It was intended to be “thedandelionchronicles” only it turned out to be “thedandelionchromicles.” I must admit I laughed when I realized my mistake (Good help is… Continue reading Side Note
What Does It Mean When Parents Abuse Their Children?
Part 1: I suppose an alternate title could be what would it mean for me to acknowledge my parents’ role in my abuse. And is this one of the core issues for me? There are two points of view in this: the child’s and the adult looking back. But first a much need history lesson,… Continue reading What Does It Mean When Parents Abuse Their Children?
