flowmom | need to commit to myself

[flowmom]

Thanks for the replies. This is a core issue in my M and in my life. It's like the puzzle that I could never fit together...and I still can't. I understand the perspective that most of you are taking...but there's a disconnect between that POV and how I see things. I don't know if it's because of cultural differences (what's normal/expected in the city that I live in) or me internalizing H's (unrealistic) expectations of me or ???.

My DB coach has advised that I build on communication when it starts with H, and respond in an affirming, collaborative way. That's the spirit in which I wrote the draft response.
