It seems like great progress if your W feels "safe" enough to let everything out and express herself to you. It must be kinda scary for them to be so confused all the time, so out of control with their emotions. To hear her say that she is tired of the cycling emotions... Wow, that probably helped to once again put things in perspective.
The non-affection is tough, isn't it? I'm glad your W was able to show you a few small signs. It's weird because it seems my H is always looking for reasons for me to touch him (back scratch, neck rub, fix collar, etc.), but will NOT touch me at all. I don't get it.
I will say that this entire time he has no problem drinking from my glass or eating from my fork. It is strange how each MLCer gets a bug up their butt about certain things. It always amazes me when I read about hrm's H (hi hrm!) not even eating the same meals and buying his own food.
I hope the energy stays positive, and have no doubt you can roll with the changes. (Insert REO Speedwagon here)
Have a great last few days of 2012. I have a feeling 2013 will be an awesome year for you
Bomb January 2012 - doesn't feel the same about me
