According to my online dictionary, "Homeostasis - noun:  metabolic
equilibrium actively maintained by several complex biological mechanisms
that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting changes."

I think it is more about mind control and brainwashing. being the Man In
Control. Our radio host friend called me last eve and I told him what had
gone on. he was so surprised and sorry. he says he believes in the medicine
but not the man and I would say that that is where we are at.

BUT

getting treated that way might have been good for Curtis. I believe that he
experienced an exaggerated (very) version of himself at his most assholio.

he says it might be the most significant experience he every had. he had
never been emotionally abused before tho he had perpetrated that on me and
my son. he admits that he doesn't know how to be a good father or husband
and wants to learn how. He plans on apologizing to Sam and telling him that
it was HIM not Sam.

This family used to have dinner at the dinner table no tv, light background
music. that went out the window with the cancer diagnosis. we are
refamilying up you might say.

I've never seen him be so sincere and heartfelt. s

the biggest problem he is having is that he SAT THERE AND TOOK IT FOR 6
HOURS!! and he can't understand why. I told him the answer is simple. HE
wants to live so badly. He said that Steve kept telling him to Come CLean
and he'd treat him for free otherwise to leave.

He looks great he is back into a size 34 waist!! he was up to a 38 and was
gray again. he like himself except he has about 1/3 of the hair he started
with (still more than his brother lol and mine) He's not smoking. drinking
or eating processed foods.

I believe this will buy him some time. He needs time now to do some making
up to some people. his girls, Sam, me and some other family members. He says
he isn't going to say sorry, he is going to ask for forgiveness and show us
how sorry he is.

as far as money. I reversed payment on the $1500 check we sent him. I called
it "for therapy that was paid for but not delivered as described".   He will
have gotten $600 out of us. He said the 1500 didn't even cover the costs of
medicine. so I guess we got a great deal : )  and Curt absorbed a lot in the
first 5 days. so it was worth it.
