What Job said about being cold...And empathy chip missing? Rings true here. My WAS is fine and best friendy until Wham he gets hit with another wave of my anger. So whether it's the guilt over what they know they have done to us, or a discomfort in facing anger, or even in the denial of how they feel about theit own actions, the turtle in his shell is one of many defense mechanisms.
I don't like sit with the anger and and have let it out when I need to. Then i can go back to my own GAL and PMA in order to move forward, although at a snail's pace.
It's actually not been that long for us, and I think we're doing quite well.
