Speech Comm

Today she is professional, but there is a real air of annoyance. It won't take much to really make her mad, so watch it.

301--Family Unit Continues

OK, gang, here's the deal. Today we're talking about family again, both blood and created. I want to talk about both functional and dysfunctional.

[She purses her lips together and leans forward on her lectern]

How do we communicate our feelings? Not love, not nurture, not caring...How do we as people access and communicate the real feelings of family? Possesivness? Defense? A huge part of family is feelings of ownership and belonging. How do we communicate this, and what happens when it's interrupted?

Go. Talk to me.

Good, Jack. Intamacy can make one open to pain as well as affection. How do you see that in relation to emotional possesion of another person?

Um... I'm going to have to echo Liz. Huh?

[Sighs] How does it make you feel to belong to someone, emotionally? How do you feel when someone belongs to you, emotionally?

And how does that relate to a defensive stance?

I think that's hard to answer, because it depends on what is specifically going on at the moment. You could say that the relationship is something that is acted upon, not in and of itself an active thing. When I feel hurt, it's... difficult to belong to someone. When I feel taken care of, it's wonderful. It changes.

So it's a condition in flux and dependent on time and situation?

Yeah, I think so. No, no, I take that back. *I'm* in flux. Which isn't to say that a familial type relationship can't change, but I bounce back and forth more, and how I'm feeling in the moment affects the relationship.

[Smiles] Welcome to growing up, Chip. Gift with purchase, right?

*chuckles* I'm still bucking for the full refund.
