What I find interesting is that a lot of MY contributions to the M issues were derived from MY own personal issues, eg, abandonment issues, fear of rejection issues, etc. This "time" gift has given me opportunity to fix "me", and as a result, those effects should not surface (too much) going forward in the/a new R.
As Snodderly might say...I am comfortable in my own skin now (again). I like me. I don't need to "nice guy" control, hold people too tightly in fear of being abandoned, bad things can happen and I know all will work out, somehow.
I see so many sitches that are so much worse than mine, so many people with issues bigger, and harder than mine. I feel blessed to have this "me" again, and to have had this time. And yes, uRw, I didn't believe when I first strolled up here...now I do. I get it. I get a lot of things now, so much better.
