Thanks!

Had a pretty good IC session today... Was able to reflect on some of my interactions with W over the past week and see that I am making some progress in my communication skills -- which I consider to be 180s for me (being able to address difficult topics without becoming overly emotional or shutting down)... Helps me feel a little stronger now...

Also reflecting on how I am improving with my parenting in terms of not letting the stress of the situation come through in my interactions with the kids -- and that was happening before BD, so a big improvement there.

Beyond those things, just really happy with where I am spiritually... continuing to grow in my faith in a way that I haven't in my entire adult life... And I can definitely see this as a lifesaver for me throughout this entire mess.

As for detaching -- it comes and goes at this point... some moments I'm fine and other moments I'm not... Which is evident from my recent posts... But continuing to work at it...

Not doing a great job at GALing this week, but it seems like my need for this week is to do more inner work right now... I think... Inner work plus trying to keep a PMA despite what is happening with W.
