I've got to spend some more time on this. We did some deep therapy once after the separation during which I really spelled out the correlation between what I am experiencing right now and my childhood issues.
So you are using your childhood coping techniques to deal with adult issues? Probably coming from a position of fear?

You mentioned "composure." I think I need to work on that. How to keep my composure without feeling stifled.
Does your fear cause you too lose composure? Is what you are doing improving your life? Would a wise and loving AAK be able to handle things better?
