V, like Jim, I find it hard to post here lately. I do check in to see how things are going with you. Part of me doesn't post because I feel that I can't offer you much...the other part of me finds it hard to reach out over this medium.

I want to give you empathy...but since learning about NVC, I know that empathy is about more than relating experiences. Empathy is about creating a space for you to be able to share your experiences and for us to listen with giraffe ears and hear your wants and needs. What I hear is someone who is wanting to make sense of things past...and I suppose that's all of us in one way or another.

You will get there, lovely V. Forgo the sugar and vino if you must, but never the cheeeeese. I'll really start to worry about you if you give up the cheeese!
