This morning I got following thought: why do I treat the relationships with my children as if they would be connected to my wife?
They are individuals. When I treat everyone of them as an relationship on its own, it is way easier to relate to them and to help them with their individual needs, hopes and dreams. If I relate those connections to my wife it becomes messy and the boundaries become unclear. Certainly I treated them as individuals but in my subconscious I linked them to W.
Those are just early morning thoughts. It helps me to differentiate because I don't think of them as a bundle that always have to include my wife's thoughts and reactions.
When I read the above it sounds strange but I will post it anyway.
