Not too much to report besides W emailing me that she appreciated my responsableness. So she still seems to be noticing me and what I do.
She is still working diligently through her stuff, lately one of the big issues is her self-image, she thinks she is ugly, and hates herself and hates having her issues...But she has been neutral to pleasant often, though a lot times she acts like (and admitted) a petulant, bratty, little girl. Reminds me of the wisdom of HB's post about the stages, and yup, you see all facets and all ages. Looking at some pics of her from adolescence, I see the same expression now when she gets all "jealous, envious, bratty and issuey". But as I said, it is lessening. Which is good, because that is when she might actually be "ugly" as she thinks she is. I have to admit that expression or mode turns me off. I wish she would look in the mirror when she is happy instead of when she is obsessing about aging, looks, and her issues. I wish she would "get" faster that her inner state greatly effects her "outer" looks. I hear the words from her that she understands this, it is a matter of belief, practice and trust, but the actions are slower to "click". But, not my problem. My re-assurances aren't heard or felt right now, so i just listen.
Otherwise, pretty much "3rd verse same as the 1st" song structure at the moment.
As for me, aside from fighting off whatever was infecting the house last week, I am doing well, just doing what it is that I do as well as I can. Work, GAL, etc. Maybe I am doing some inner work as I haven't posted much, but read everyone's posts. Lots of new people here, guess Sept/Oct is a popular month to drop bombs? Both of mine (2009 and 2011) were in Sept/Oct...hmmm.
Anyway, have a good weekend all!
