SS- thank you for that insight. I never thought of it that way :-)
Regretful, I just came from a mtg. It was very nice and helpful.
Today was interesting. I visited MC without H to pick up some parenting material from him. I stayed for a session and what he said was interesting. I gave him a summary of our progress and he recommended that I give in a little more. For ex. communicate that I would like for H n I to go out without the kids. and let H know that I would like more physical touch (sitting together on the couch, hugging).
My response, I laughed! I said, that's too much for me, ie. puts me in a vulnerable position. RED FLAG another opportunity to get hurt.
I also told him about how angry and hurt I was about all of Hs lies. MC asked if I had confirmed they were lies. I said no. Then he said, I might jump to the conclusion they are lies to protect myself. Interesting, very interesting. I didn't believe it, but it was interesting! lol!
That's all for tonite! Good night folks!
