There and Back, # 9

[care]

Morgan,
checking in on you. From the sounds of it, H wanted to get into it with you tonight. Yes, you didn't have to respond to him about how this day was hard for you. The WAS always turns things around about they feel. He may not like that you are hurting but to him, it is nothing in comparison to what he feels. That is why the LBS should try at all costs to not bait the WAS.
I think you sort of wanted him to know that you were doing as well as could be expected today and that is understandable. When things started to go south and you went downstairs, H followed to get into it. I know how hard it is to not take the bait. Like detachment, it just takes time and you'll not only resist the urge but not even be remotely tempted.
Give yourself hugs. You made it through the hard part of the day. Have a nice glass of wine or beer, and settle in to watch the Sox. (then cross your fingers)
Thinking of you...
