"And they all yell at me and say mean things. Even all the adults...no one wants me around."
I was thinking about the past again today. I can't help it I guess, when everyone at work talks about their children. When I think "childhood" I think "torture" and "suffering", I don't think of happy times. I guess that's why I like to draw cubs, as a way to do it over, how it should have been.
A lot of things bring me back to that time. I even feel that way here, though not nearly as severely. Alexander, like myself, is autistic, and no one understands him. He is neglected at home and bullied at school, and the treatment he gets from his teachers is outright abusive. He has no friends, except imaginary ones. His life is exactly the same as my own was back then.
...Thanks, to those who have read all that. I guess I'm doing these drawings as some form of self therapy. It wasn't something I used to be able to be so open about. Maybe someday Alexander will find a place he belongs. I hope I do, too...

I'm always so proud of you when I see you doing works like this. Alexander is a challenging character for he represents so much trauma. Though, I do believe the "Journaling" you are doing through him is certainly helpful. I know it helps me to journal out my feelings. It's a healthy way to process what is all going on in your head while being able to just "Put it out There" for anyone who is willing to take the time to relate and/or offer some words of wisdom.
For me, childhood is harder-and-harder to look back on for it was a time when I could so much more than I can do now. This is rather odd to say as, even then, there were lots of things I couldn't do and that people firmly believed I couldn't do. So many dark, self-fulfilling prophecies.
Being able to journal out your feelings through your characters is a wonderful way to process what may otherwise be non-processable.
I hope you continue to share with us what you feel up to sharing. It isn't easy. However, it is very healthy and, with each post, I'm sure you feel that much closer to healing a part of yourself that has felt like an open, bleeding wound for far too long.
