I called her up to talk about her email. Probably validated the best I have. She really was happier at the end of the 30 minute call.
She said I had been doing a really good job of listening in the last three months, but about a month ago I turned into the old Pinhead, hearing what I wanted to hear. I need to go back and see where I was, what I was thinking, what I was doing.
It was a really good talk. Cleared up a lot of her stress and mine, we talked about how we could use boundaries to feel safe with the separation, just a lot of good communication.
It was a phone call, so I couldn't see her expressions, but she thanked me for calling, for listening. She did a good job of validating me as well.
