Ok... this is the reassurance I need... I am seeing positive things from her. I do know she needs time. I'm just a stubborn fixer. Doing things for others is so natural for me. Protecting herself is so natural for her. Both related to upbringing.

I will back off and be patient. I just need to hear it from someone other than the crazy voice in my head.

Speaking of that? People say trust your gut. How can I tell the difference between what my gut is saying and what my crazy head is saying? I know if I listened to my crazy head I would have done lots of dumb things.

Thanks again... I can get through today and that's the plan.

Btw... what's the deal with 100 posts?
