Innocent remarks made about others sometimes tell the real story about how someone feels about you. This has been a problem for me, for decades. At first, there'd be a therapist around to help put a survivable spin on things, but once that wasn't the case, I would be knocked seriously off balance by news events even remotely related to issues like mine. This evening, it was my bride's simple observation on something that was said about a neighbor - an accusation which she doesn't believe, and her observation was not accurate in all its rationale but valid in its substance while making crystal clear her true opinion of me.
Earlier I felt as if I was starting to recover from a really tough week of reminders of my worst brokenness. I was beginning to lay claim again to what I have thought of as my proper identity.
Now I feel completely deflated. But I'm also physically exhausted from being up two nights in a row with a sick dog. (I'm grateful he doesn't seem to have anything seriously wrong with him.)
I may not write here anymore.
