New and need encouragement

[Not Quitting]

It's almost scary just how many of us are in similar sitches. Your own small world seems to be ticking along perfectly, with no issues, and you feel alone in your sitch. Find a forum like this and you quickly realize that you are by no means alone.

I hate being separated from H but I know that he needs the time away. Saw something on Facebook recently that pretty well covers the whole giving them the time and space they need - "Make someone appreciate your presence by your absence". That kinda says it all.

I agree about your comment "And sometimes we will communicate effortlessly, with no tension, and it feels like old times again. I think that is what is giving me hope." I definitely feel that way. I've still got a long way to go, but at the same time I've already come a long way. Baby steps and one day at a time. And on the bad days, I keep reminding myself that my S13 needs me to strong and happy.
