OT, I always appreciate your wisdom. I agree on all counts. I think this was another toe in the water, as I grow out of being codependent and into a more healthy, "normal" outlook on life.
The fear of not being loved is greatly diminished; it was overwhelming earlier in the year, as I realized that I was fighting a loosing battle. I am amazed at how much I am learning about myself. I know what was driving a lot of things about myself that I wanted (want) to change.
It is also helpful to think about what I want the kids to come away knowing from this mess. I tried to limit the info while staying truthful; the rest is up to their IC. I did read up on parental alienation syndrome, and will try to be very careful not to inadvertently promote that.
I'm just taking note of my own changes, and what direction I want to go next. Seems like some grand experiment...
