Emotion

 

Me and my wife buy for a kid or two every Christmas in the Secret Santa Program. We had a difficult time getting information about a kid because they(DFCS) could not afford to put up a tree this year. We finally got some info about a 5 yr old boy. He wore a size 5 top and 4T bottom. Wanted a tricycle, and liked Thomas the train and loved cars and trucks.

 

So we bought him a jacket, 3 outfits, Thomas stuff, hot wheels, a bicycle and a helmet along with some candy and some other items that have slipped my mind at the moment.

 

My wife tured the items in today and the foster mother of the little boy was there. She spoke with my wife and said that the boy had cerebal palsy. When my wife told me this I had this feeling in the pit of stomach and I felt like crying. While I cannot say whyI felt this way specifically, I know that I held that feeling back since I am at work. 

 

See have a problem with showing and feeling emotion. I have only been able to feel extreme emotion like anger, sadness and all the others. I feel that I am sofetening up some which is progress for me.

Emotion

This is something I am working on too. Being female, you think I would have no problem showing emotion, but tears have always embarrassed me in the past. I didn't cry when my dad died of cancer for two years. I was 11 when he passed and 13 before I cried about it (all by myself of course.) Now I don't have too many reasons to cry except for when I find something very touching/sad. I get teary when I read those touching email forwards, or certain news stories, movies, when I'm having a meaningful conversation with someone else and they start to tear up... What is funny, is I don't know why showing emotion would be something to be embarrassed about. When I see it from others it just makes me love them more for freely expressing themselves. 

 

Btw, you are your wife are good people for giving to others in that way. I'm sure you made that little boys day :-)

It's not that I'm embarrassed, It's that I don't feel emotion or it does not register with me. Almost like I'm no in touch with myself enough to realize I'm feeling an emotion. I did not cry when neither my mom or dad passed away either.
