but what he has done to our D4 is the hardest and will take time.
One thing it took me quite awhile to really own, was how angry I was for what he did to me. Of course, I was angry for D's how could I not be, but I hid behind them at first (ie: my anger was for them not myself). Not proud of it, just the way it was. We all get to where we're going on different trains, planes and sutomobiles.
I know that whenever I get a compliment from a friend or just someone I know (that's a man) I still get chocked up. It's nice to hear.
I think his asking how the appt went was nice. May not have come out in a great way, but, he did ask.
Journaling is great, but it isn't the same as getting feedback from someone else. This site has been a refuge for more than a few. if you ever "really" need to talk, you can always look me up on the alt fan club (FB).
I'm sure the crabbies will be gone from D4 tonight, so enjoy the hugs. They're the best aren't they?
