Morning CL,
It's been interesting to read your posts, and hear your ideas on Hold Me Tight. It's been a while since I've read it, so it's been helpful to review your comments. I know what you mean about the electric fence and eggshell walking, where conflict is avoided. Have had a few instances of that again this week. It's interesting to remember that withdrawal is also a form of protection. (Which is what I do, almost, what I 'am') And did a splendid example of it this morning. It's incredibly tiring and defeating, to feel myself back there again and again, still lacking the courage from time to time, to use my voice and say what needs to be said. Let me know how you're making out with it, if you're having any luck with it.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
