The bottom line is Piecing is just as tough as the surviving the bomb as both WAW and LBS still have issues to contend with and us LBS's are very easily spooked by things that remind us of past hurt. I suppose the same can be said of the WAW and whilst the LBS wants to talk things through the WAW wants to bury the past, so you can see how the two forces will work against each other.
So I'll revert back to watching baby steps and tread carefully along the way.
