She also said, after talking to me, that she thinks that H may be a little ADHD. She sees his constant need for stimulation and how easily he gets bored and tunes out.
You know, this really hit me--aren't we all getting to be this way? Is ADHD really an epidemic, or is it more a symptom of a larger societal ill? In many ways, aren't we all a bunch of spoiled, impatient, unaccountable children who expect constant entertainment and life on a silver platter? Think road rage, fast food/rising weight problems, housing loan crisis, skyrocketing credit card debt...
Sorry, not to run off on a tangent. But it would somehow account for the increasing number of people who just can't seem to understand "for better or for worse" and run off with other people at the first sign of rough waters. I like to think of answers that tie the reasons why up in a neat little bow.
I'm glad that you got some insight and direction from your sessions with the Cs, and I love the suggestion for turning your anxiety into safe communication with your H.
I'm with you on the soul searching stuff. Keep at it, and you'll find the peace you're looking for.
