I agree with this ^^. "Jump starts" are what our WAs/MLCers depend on to make them feel good. I do not want to be someone's emotional crutch, nor do I want someone to be my emotional crutch. Because then, what have I learned? That I can apply a band-aid as well as my partner did?
But self-respect and self-love that comes from a pure place inside of each of us is right for all.
Thanks Portia. You stated that quite nicely.
A quick fix is not a long term solution.
