Felix Worries Sally |

Sometimes Felix worries Sally. It happens periodically. Felix will just sit in a chair, and stare out into space. His facial expression is a complete blank. He can’t, and won’t be disturbed. He is completely lost in his own thoughts. When Felix does that, Sally knows he will be in for a bad night’s sleep, with a whole lot of thrashing around and moaning. Then he will awaken suddenly, with a loud shriek that will wake up Angelo. Sally knows that Felix is bothered by unpleasant memories. Bobby |

Horrors surpressed during the day seem to run amuck at night. My mother had a very bad childhood and often screamed at night and scared me half to death. Ida |

Ida, I know where you're coming from. I moan, and scream at night too. It does scare people. Bobby |

I feel for Felix, he must have some real bad memories, such a crime for kids to have to carry such bad experiences through their life...a hug for the little guy from over the water.... John |

Thanks John, Bad dreams are no fun. BTW, Felix has gone to Mature Content - Behind Closed Doors if you would like to read him again. Bobby |

Felix seems so young to be so burdened. I too send him hugs and wishes for comfort. My son is biplor and has frequent night terrors and I emphathize. Thank you for sharing sharyn |

Shyvl, Night terrors, as you describe them can happen at any age. Thankfully, Felix at sevent-one has outgrown them. I wish you son freedom from the night terrors. God bless us all. Bobby |
