Easy killer. You said she bounced after her initial reaction, didn't you? Don't be too hard on you!
I am trying to really get into my head that I really need to make the changes in my behavior. The feelings of anxiety, abandonment, etc are all self imposed because I have not truly confronted my codependency, which means that I HAVE been lying to myself about detaching and enmeshing. My GAL has been not enough. Guitar and swimming and soccer coaching....there are no new relationships forged there to make new friends, which is something that I absolutely positively need in my life....not just now but moving forward.
