Closure

Closure...........
That's what shrinks call shutting away a significant part of your life. Did you ever wonder who shrinks see when they have issues? Do they visit other shrinks or do they just roam around feeling superior while their grey cells continue to diminish? Remember that old saying 'it takes one to know one?' Closure my foot!
You can never shut out memories...ooops ok, you can..it's called amnesia and Amal was sure she didn't have that. Maybe MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder). Cos they (shrinks) say when you're one person, you have no recollection whatsoever of your alter ego...what do they know?
Amal was sure she was sane. Although she couldn't forget, she was sure she was moving on. It didn't hurt anymore. Life would go on. She had promised the kids some time away and was thinking of her purse after a money guzzling project that took forever to complete. Their last trip together was chaos personified. It had to be somewhere she could afford to take the nanny too. She would forget him in Ghana, frolicking on the beach with the kids. YES!
Her mind drifted to a subject far more dear to her than anyone could ever be. Her lovely children. She constantly thanked God for them. Her raison d'etre. On this particular night, she felt a great need for comfort that was constant. She went to the children's room and said a silent prayer for them like she did every night while they were sleeping, only this time, she didn't turn out the light and close the door quietly behind her.She crawled into her Baby's bed and pulled her close. The scent of Johnson's podwer filled her nostrils as she snuggled closer. Baby stirred and Amal cooed her back to sleep.For the first time in a long time, Amal slept peacefully through the night.
The next days before the holiday saw a new Amal emerge. Feeling willful and rebellious, she charged across the office smirking at every man in sight and feeling very haughty and grabbing every opportunity to run them down.It was the dawn of a new Amal.She was tough and needed to show it. To whom in particular was the big question. She could have been wearing armour and carrying a shield for all they cared. No one noticed and it was evident that the amazon was in a jungle of her own, Amal cooled off.
