ACCEPTANCE. Can't wait to master that NM, but I think I am getting there...slowly and with resistence.
Day two of packing up apartment. Apart from being really tired, did not fall apart :-) Bub's smiles helped. Making my room at my parents house more 'mine'.
Thanks G, I think we are all incredibly strong. You have all been an inspiration from me, and I would love to have a 10th of your ability to lovingly detach! As for losing my cool, I did it quite a lot, more than a good DBer ever would..but I felt my circumstanes were exceptionally stressful for me. I went from Being Married/Living Overseas/Pregnant, to Being Separated/Pregnant/Living in my Parents house in Another Country much less sexy than the first! Not a heck of a lot of CONTINUITY there!
WH visited bubs today. I was civil, even friendly (bought him take-away coffee which I brought back to him) but boundary-setting (said i would prefer to discuss any separation stuff on email - safer for me!) and I left first!
WH looked sad and lonely. I guess he misses OW, not me.
On narcassism, my step-mum tells me her two girlfriend's WAH's were also labelled narcassists by their IC's! Not very original, then.
