CVA - Angels vs. Devils

[Not Much Left]

I think that slow and steady wins the race! So, despite what she is saying about not wanting further contact i.e. holding hands, she probably does but does not want to rush it. Hard to believe from our pt of view that is rushing it, as people on 1st dates hold hands, but in our sitches, the WAW may think, "if I let him do that, he may think things are OK, they are not and I am still in control dammit!, I walked away!! and cannot admit that I have feelings for that jerk again" Just my interpretation of what could be happening.

So I would keep doing the hugs because YOU KNOW based on what your kid says that it makes her feel good, keep doing it but slowly. Dont ask for the handhold or whatever, it sounds like it just may happen on its own.

Good luck Rain, good to hear from you.
