Thanks for the reply and the reminders. Yes I know the stage jumping all too well. I am only so so comfortable even saying what I did about the replay because I know that could change at any second. It is more a matter of what I have been witnessing for a while now than anything else. With my H, the depression and anger have been there most of the time, which is hard to watch but what are you gonna do? And of course, I know anything could cause a change in direction.
No wouldn't be the first time I strayed from DB. I'm not so good at some of it. LOL. I too feel it daily but I had gotten past the desire to SAY it, and learning how to show it has been a monumental task. I have really had to go back to the beginning and examine what I did then because I definately stopped speaking his love language but I wasn't speaking my own either. If that makes any sense. So it really is a whole new world for me, especially since what used to come as second nature, has not been for a long long time, having nothing to do with MLC but from me because of preconcieved notions of what a mother should represent. This really is a journey for each of us in so many ways. Thanks for the reminders, we all need them. And no I never bring up R talks. That was one DB thing that has stuck for me.
