I don't know what this means.
It may mean nothing after all. D is trauma but you seem to be dead to it which hopefully good.
I don't know what this means, either. If you think I don't recognize that divorce = trauma -- trauma for me, trauma for S9, trauma for D6, trauma for WAW -- then you haven't been reading.
Recognizing and accepting that I'm already "dead" -- in the terms used in the Spiers Paradigm -- that, in other words, the divorce is ON, is not the same as being dead to the feelings.
It is (for me, at any rate) a necessary part of accepting and overcoming the feelings.
