Job update: Despite doing everything short of visiting in person*, I never got any more information or a formal firing.
*I stand by the principle that showing up to a place with young children with anger in you is not a great call. I don't want to make anyone feel unsafe, even if it's unfounded.
I'm sad! Obviously. Anyway. I went to the Muzeo Museum, despite being a bit out of the way it was fun. I got in for $1 for having a snap card, and there was a display about Victorian mourning, general Anaheim history, edward mobley toys, and an art display that wasn't very compelling. It was fun to go to, I sent photos of the edward mobley toys to my nana and she went through saying she had this or that one, and her sisters had these, etc.
I also briefly went to a friday the 13th event, but my Fear Of Missing Out was unfounded, it was empty and boring. I've been sketching with charcoal, and reading re7 fics. Life is sometimes made up of little boring moments, but at least this breather lets me read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.
Review, in brief: I think Gibson is too attached to moralizing the internalizing vs externalizing reactions to trauma and pain. Just because someone harms themselves instead of others doesn't make them morally better, or more understandable by society, or any of that. Externalizers shouldn't be ignored in the way the book does, or assumed to be hurtful to others. In short I don't think that idea was developed in a bias-reducing way and as a result the narrative excludes the wide variety of ways pain can express. Otherwise a good book, with fair-enough stories and helpful tips for working around emotional immaturity. I would recommend it.
