Have you ever had to act "wihourt emotion"? describe any times you can rememberwhen you had to repress or

Question

ignore your emotion.

Answer 1

My husband left me before the birth of our child. I divorced him. He is not in our lives at all. When my son was about 6 I told him somethings about his father and why we weren't together and such. I never said a bad thing about the man. I made it seem like we just were meant to be together but we loved him so much and we had him and we felt it best that I keep him. As my son grows he asks questions and I answer them as honest as I can but I never bad mouth his father.
That is pure self-control. I put on a smile when I talk about his father and even gave him a picture of him when he was 7. I don't know if I ever will tell him the whole truth about the real type of man his father was but I can't destroy the picture my son has in his mind of his father.

Answer 2

I had to "act without emotion and suppress my feelings" the night that my Father passed on. He had been sick with cancer and was home from the hospital. We knew that he had basically come home to die. We were all surrounded around his bed and were present when the Angels came for him. I'm an only child, so I knew that I had to make my Father proud and be strong for my Mother. I did just this. I calmly held her and comforted her. I called the Mortuary, I made all the calls to my Father's family (brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews), I was with my Father's body when the Funeral Director came to our house to collect his body, I made coffee for our Priest and the Doctor who were also in attendance when my Father passed - I did it all. Everyone thought that I was in shock (which I'm sure that I was).

I only broke down, after everyone had gone home for the night and my Mother was in her bed. I was sitting with my dearest friend in the kitchen. I looked at her (we've been friends since we were 4 years old) and said "I can't believe he's gone" and broke down.

Have a lovely rest of the evening.

Answer 3

My mom was schizophrenic. She walked out of the state hospital once and came home. I had to call the police, I was home alone and 13 years old. When the police came everyone in the neighborhood came out to see them haul her away laughing hysterically in her hospital gown. I absolutely refused to cry in front of those people. I had to hold my head up and do my best to maintain some semblance of dignity.
Goblin honey, I'm so sorry. You made him proud I'm sure of it.
