Susana (7) - Like a big pizza pie

[susana4]

I had this overwhelming urge to run. I kept having fantasies about packing up all my stuff and leaving before H gets back from his ski trip, and never seeing him again. What's with this urge to run away? Is it a normal part of the process?

It has been for me. I'm 7 1/2 years post-bomb, and more than 6 years since full reconciliation, and I *still* get it sometimes. Sometimes it's after we've had a fight, or some other trigger, but yeah -- it's still there. I think it always will be, at some level.

Thanks Starsky. Interesting. It's comforting to know it's normal but a little frightening to know it lasts forever. Guess it just goes to show why we shouldn't act on just emotions!
