Hi Kalni, I know you have been at this much longer than I have - and I'm not even close to going through what you are (if I ever even get there)...but reading FG's post did keep bringing the word expectations to mind - and a conversation I recently had with a T - about the big difference between expectations (which we cannot wish for another person to fulfill - and which, more often than not, go unspokeN0 and needs (which should be spoken - and which should be open and addressed). While reading your thread I've wondered at times about your frustration - and wondered if it comes more from need or expectation - or if it also stems from a natural part of the process - where healing, reconnecting, learning to be around one another again just must take time...
I remember reading somewhere about how long it takes for the WAS to feel comfortable around the LBS...wish I could find it right now...
