Of Feral Cats, and All That

[reachingHigher]

Hi T^2,

This is heavy. Makes me think of the song, "here we go round the mulberry bush". Again?

I'm sorta busy this morning but just wanted you to know I'll think about what you said and try to come up with something helpful, along with everybody else.

It occurs to me, just off the cuff, since W and I share some of the same duties, homeschooling and all.

It's this idea. Saturday, both boys went to my sister's SIL's house for the day so I was alone. Very uncommon occurrence. H spent most of the day with me, again very uncommon to be alone.

To tell you the truth it was kinda scary. Sitting across the lunch table from him and being alone with him. I didn't know how to act or what to say. Of course, it ended up working out and we had a nice afternoon...but the point is...my identity for many years has been "mom" and it is scary to transition to being W again. Especially at home, where my identity is.

So...trying to identify with W...lots of fear...of who she is...of you...of others....of her future? I'll think about it for a while. I'll try to help, T^2; you've helped me so much

My H is better at everything too and I have found it intimidating. It's hard to get past if if your self-confidence is low.
