She has started to deal with it through different channels (talk therapy, etc) several times through the years, but always stopped it seems. She used to confide in me about it, but, not the past 2 years too much. She did a lot right after her dad died and 3 years after.
She knows it is something that has affected her all these years, from childhood onwards. Maybe she denied it during the earlier stages of her mlc, idk. When our kids were young she didn't have time or energy to work on it, per her. Or her other issues, which maybe are tied in or to it, loosely or strongly. I don't know what/when/where/how she plans on tackling it, that's up to her. Or maybe she will come to terms with it all by herself.
I am there for her, she knows this.
Linda and Raine, I do remember when growling had only one interpretation, and it was a good thing...lol!
