One question- when is it OK to tell people you're not OK? I sent a note to my cousin to let her know the paperwork was filed and I'll be divorced soon, and she writes back that she hopes I'm OK, and that she loves me. Well, thanks, I do appreciate that, I really do, I love her too, but I'm not OK! I feel like if I tell her that I'm not, it's putting pressure on her to do something, and her statement to me feels like she doesn't want to have to do anything. Am I reading this wrong, or am I being too sensitive? When or how is it OK to say you need something, like maybe a little time to talk, from your friends and family without looking selfish? Or do I just suck it up and muddle through? I can do that.
I don't trust what I'm thinking/feeling, and I don't trust others to react positively back to me. I know that's fall-out from my marriage and something I'm working on in IC, but in the meantime, if anybody has any thoughts on the subject, I would love to explore this. Thanks-
