Why I did not read your thread is beyond me, too caught up in me I guess and I apologize.
Our situations are scarily similar and the way we react is very much the same; lashing out when we are scared and needy etc. expecting our S's to know what we are thinking and not actually telling them...
Your R talk will resonate with me because I fear that in 6,8,12,18 months down the line that will by my talk as well. I am not ready right now to hear it, but I hope that when I do, I will be in the place you are right now.
There is so much strength, a bit of resignation and a hell of a lot of determination in your attitude.
