I remember when I took my ring off october 2007
it was such a bif decision for me
at first I only did it to get a reaction from xh which I never got..I never dated till after my D 3/09 anyway
I think it does help us to move forward it feels funny for a while ..now it feels normal to have no ring
I also remember my D having many meltdowns after Seperation she was 12 then
It helped me to sit down and listen to her not during meltdown but as a reguar activity to give her full attention for 10-15 minutes a day
now she is almost 15
she seems OK I still try to listen to her
validate her
be a freind/mom to her
it isnt perfect im not perfect
but I think we bonded more after H left
I made her a priority
where as before I dont think I did
I was always trying to figure out how to make M better and never could
peace
