[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 715112, member: 19889"] I am reading that book The Highly Sensitive Person and it all fits. I am definitely a HSP, but not an empath. Honestly, I didn't even think that was real until I read thru everyone's posts. I had a strange experience. It was when I was married to my kids' father. He went out every afternoon to the bar and drank a lot, plus used cocaine. I guess you can drink more if you use it. That was our normal. Me alone with the kids - him out doing whatever he wanted. So one day, early afternoon, I was in the car with him, which was a giant Suburban. We drove by some young people biking. Suddenly, I felt beyond horrible. I had an overwhelming feeling something terrible was going to happen. I called my sister. I didn't know what to do - why I had this strong feeling of fear and dread. Later he went out, per usual. I couldn't sleep. Finally, way past my bedtime, I went downstairs and wedged myself in the couch as tight as I could and drifted off. At 4 am he rang the doorbell, and I saw a taxi right outside. What happened? I said. I was in jail, he said. He had gotten a DUI - finally!!! I was dizzy with happiness and relief. .17 bac and driving. What is the explanation for that? [/QUOTE]
