Thank you. She has been enormous friend and shows a clear contrast
between healthy and the unhealth I have tried to bury myself in.
Buried in darkness, her presence is a calm, steady, and unwavering
light.
So often, asd serves as this for me as well.
hi!

very much a different jane
not much empathy to precisely draw me in :P
very good at depr*gramming though
sees this is all as life-and d*ath and wants to plan out sessions well

it is!
hello there :)
thank you for gladness on my behalf
am very much alive and kicking
dey will let us in sometime tomorrow :)
um, any ideas on how to stay away from bad sites?
and a question from jane on the other "jane":
what did the other "jane" *do*?
was other "jane" maybe c*lt involved?
what did she do that this jane should avoid?
we dont' *think* other jane was c*lt involved but we think some of the
damages were big and led us into more self-destructive stuff
and some emotional dynamics similar?
and lately think it not matter if she really *ab*sed* us in ways we
suspected or not
cuz big damage done either way
but then feel big bad for saying that
like she tried and was jsut flawed but some stuff....
umm
so reality checks
what did other jane do?
and not do?
and why so devastated by her?
what's my prob anyway?
good!
other jane bad boundaries
encouraged switching and crisis by being most interested in that
had multiple relationships with you
didn't have regular sessions, used sessions as rewards/punishments
made secrets with you (like don't tell we doing tpy)
hope she can help lots.

glad you're back and okay. missed you.
Your only problem is that horrible people have decided to victimise you.
No fault of your own. I can't really answer about what that jane did
because I wasn't here then, though.
thanks! we meet person to let us into our apt in an hour so yay. then
we just savor own apt for awhile, hopefully sans much destructo stuff
online, then we spend of day with J making meal (nontraditional and
being decidedly petulant and ungrateful :P)
Tired and may be more in mood to be alone today.
baby-sitting business of ours picking up. :)
*giggles*
I spent the morning baking. My Golden Pull-Apart Butter Buns came out
looking right, but I'm not sure how edible the Honey Wheat Rolls are....
Ah well.

don't know how child blocks on net sites work but maybe j can set up
blocks and make password you don't know so no one can access them?
don't know if this is a good or bad idea, thruthfully. might trigger
escalation to scarier behaviors. maybe ask t?
any sites or listservs set up for supporting folks trying to manage
these things? like AA type things. some place to go instead of the
scary places but where whoever needs to can talk about needs and
desires and be understood and supported for safety.
don't know at all, just trying to think of practical substitutions.
> and a question from jane on the other "jane":

other jane was dangerously manipulative. very into punishment and
rescue. very distorted and frankly creepy boundaries. shut you out
when displeased. was a very sick and bad personality. not able to
model healthy behavior. replicated behavior of your foo. you only
rated her attention when you did as she needed you to do. and her need
wasn't about your health, was about her sickness. she created
atmosphere at agency where you felt worried and frightened about how
others there saw and treated you based on her, which means she was
probably having distorted boundaries with all people. terrible dynamic
for doing healing work. client spends all their time trying figure out
how to make tpst like them and be nice. is very twisted and broken and
wrong wrong wrong.

hihi!
I walked someone through setting up blocking of sites before and then it
had to be undone because the destructive ones were just finding even
worse sites :/
Don't know ideas. Find soemthing else to do on nets? I read lots of
blogs. Feminist and social justice stuff mostly.
These is a program for Windows called Microsoft Family Safety, or
something like that. It has a bad site blocklist thru them by what they
determine to be unsafe, or it can block everything and an admin account
can authorize sites as they're requested. Can be done over the internet
too. Don't know if that's too draconian for this though. We have it on
the computer we let slunkette use so she can still play a couple flash
games. We only have those sites authorized. Everything else is blocked.
Can also whitelist IM's, e-mails and such or blacklist them too.
Is free to licensed copies of Windows.
