Yeah, I'm not very eager to talk to her very much right now. I'm not eager to do anything "for her" right now.
I'm working on my support system. I've talked / emailed with family, but it's hard because they're so upset.
I've got a high-school friend across the country who has been through this, and I'm emailing / talking on the phone with her.
I don't know many friends who can relate to this, actually. People tell me, ask around to get a recommendation for a lawyer, etc. Seriously, I know nobody in my day-to-day life who has gone through this.
W was talking yesterday about finding us support groups - this was a prelude to the "we can't support each other" talk. I kind of shrugged it off. I'm uncertain about finding another counciler now.
Well, struggling today, I'll get me thoughts together. But yes, right now I just want to focus on getting up again. I don't need to talk to her right now.
Crap, every time I DO sit down next to her these days, I get the "Can we talk?" thing.
Well, she did enjoy the baseball game, and we all went to the movies yesterday, she said she enjoyed that. But right now I want to back way off. I can't take anymore right now.
Bill, Family is not where you should be leaning. If you take a peak at my thread you will see exactly why. The least little bit of information they have will come back to bite. (My M as much as told me to give up and get a D already. Gee thanks, Mom.)
Yes. Back off. Do not be very accessible and feel free to say you are not ready to talk about certain subjects. She will stop talking if you do not respond. She may want to rush things, but there is no need to do so.
Please do find another IC. No matter what happens, you need that.
