Stress, WAW and life in general III

[AJM]

That's a great question. I think it's really what I've been coming to, although I haven't figured out why it is bothering me. The lack of distance.

In fairness, she did ask if she could bring it over and it is my son's. I don't have a problem with it, and I don't feel like a doormat. She's been respectful of my space in that sense.

No, my anger is something else. I don't yet know the source but I suspect some of it is to avoid feeling sad. Or other emotions not yet identified.

Still, it's not helpful. I've put it off for a while and my just need to feel it for a while. I'm prepared for that. Seems to be waning a little, but still angry. Speak to the MC alone this afternoon and I may float the idea of less time with her.

I have to keep in mind some of this may be related to depression as well. I can't discount that yet. I also can't discount that it's depression that is caused by her choice to separate starting when she started school.
