Suzie and Ladybug, may i join you for a moment ?
...i think you said okay.. i would just like to add that you have each mentioned things that are quite legitamate reasons to get depressed.. i think depression is often anger turned inwards, because if we even expressed our anger in words the consequences or situation would even be made worse? As women, mothers, wives, we're always expected to be calm, rational, understanding..... and yet,deep inside, we'd like to say outloud... damn it, what's going on here, this is an outrage, or no longer tolerable, or smarten up, or whatever .... but we dont want to make matters worse, or hurt someone's feelings.. and just continue to try and make the best of bad situations, but without encouragement, without play, and laughter.. the depression becomes deeper... ...
