Own Story is Triggered I wrote in my
Prologue
to “In
Memoriam: Michael Jackson…” that Michael “had lived his
life with
the un-self-conscious boldness and absolute commitment to his
unique,
real self — more so even than most primalers are able to yet —
and
for that he had been singled out, hounded, ridiculed, and
laughed at;
and these things no doubt diminished his life and then took
it.”
The whole story had got me to thinking but that quote captures the crux
of it. I became reflective then, and I still am, as I recall how I’d
also experienced persecution for being different – and for me, like
Michael, it had to do with being more sensitive or more talented or
intelligent, or all three, than males are “supposed” to be.
Certainly those were the reasons that my father hated me, especially
growing up. He, ignorant and struggling; me, bright and athletic
without trying or even wanting to be, and having everything come easy
for me. Whereas for him, he had to wear himself out struggling,
desperately trying to prove to his father — dead, of course, one of
those “ghostly others,” I’ve been mentioning — that he in fact COULD
take care of himself…and a wife, and six children.
