Just a quick update after mtg with IC. She was very happy to hear about the NC as she felt it was the first time I've tried to establish boundaries. She also wants me to get out but is encouraged with the reading and learning I've done and thought I was in a much healthier place than when I saw her last about 10 days ago. She warned me that W and I have been codependent over our M and to expect my NC and trying to establish boundaries may prompt her to be angry and to prepare for communication from her at some point in this regard to which I should not respond.
I will continue to meet with her every week now for the time being and i think paired with this forum and the reading should help me to keep growing into who I need and want to be. I still broke down in tears so I didn't hold up as well as I had hoped but I appreciate having her and know I need to be open and honest with her both good and bad.
I was invited to meet coworkers for happy hour so I may once my eyes look a bit better so as not to look like a bawl baby. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for those of you that have given me advice and support as well as those that I read their own stories of what they have been and are currently going through. It means more than I can really express at this time and does make a difference.
