Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. When he's home I feel uncomfortable and upset and wish he'd leave, when he's gone I just wish he'd come back. I'm trying to work on myself but man is it hard when I keep feeling emotionally pulled in different directions. I guess I just feel upset when he's here because I WANT to talk about it and sort through it and make things better, but I know I shouldn't. I should just leave him alone.
Anybody else out there feeling like this?
Oh yes, I remember that quite well! That's what IHS does to you, it's just mentally and emotionally draining. I'm not saying to kick him out, or to leave, but physical separation really helps with this. Most people fight separation like it's the end of their world, but then once it happens they find themselves in a much better place emotionally.
