![]() God, I hated myself! What was the matter with me? ![]() It was as if I’d gone into an altered state of consciousness. I had gone away emotionally before-but I had never gone away physically. But this was the third year I had blown up on our vacation. More than anything, I wanted my family life to be warm, loving, and intimate. When I tried to trace the events that led up to my leaving, I couldn’t figure out anything. There I was, sitting all alone in a motel in the middle of our vacation on Padre Island. I was 40 years old and I had raged and screamed until everyone-my wife, my stepchildren, and my son-was terrified. I couldn’t believe I could be so childish. ![]() The person . in the grip of an old distress says things that are not pertinent, does things that don’t work, fails to cope with the situation, and endures terrible feelings that have nothing to do with the present. ![]()
