ok so WH just dropped off S...I felt relaxed and warm and caring and confident all at the same time. Wore a tank top with pj bottoms, made eye contact, smiled,even looked a little "coy" as I said "thank you" when WH handed me S' clothes and our hands brushed! I think that I finally realized that I can show caring while still putting boundaries in place. Of course it helps that I am over that 2-3 week dark period of spontaneously crying or spouting something off (to myself) in anger throughout each day!
There is a sort of freedom I feel, too. Can't place my finger on it. I have my head in the clouds but my feet are still firmly planted on earth! Don't worry.
Well here is another quote I picked up today:
"There are people you can live with, but the person you can't live without is the one you should marry."
This was not intended to promote being codependent- maybe it should be "don't want to live without" (not can't)
