Eh, you make perfect sense to me, because I think and feel the same way often. I think we see progress and ramp up our expectations...only to see that reality isn't quite measuring up, and that's frustrating.
For me, reality is that H is here now, but someday he can easily turn away again. So do I throw my hands in the air and give up? Or do I just keep walking the path I'm on, finding my happiness in myself and trusting that I'll end up in a better place no matter what?
Expectations, GAL...words we've used a lot, but just as vital in piecing (if not more) as they were in crisis. And truly important to keep working on. Forever. There is no arriving.
