Hi again Bridgestone, Just a thank-you for a great comment you wrote on another thread:
"Learn to VALIDATE.. really truly, what she does share with you for thoughts and feelings...not this "i understand how you feel & I'm sorry you feel that ' BS that is sometimes pushed around here as validation"
I forget sometimes that all validation is not created equal! I needed to hear this. I've written it down to help me stay objective and hear a little deeper - to understand if I'm *really* being validated or not.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
