This post of yours resonates. You see someone putting this distance so defiantly, so sure of themselves and their actions. Then for me, after about 6 or 7 months, a human began to emerge. Why? Was it his thoughts, his processes? Was it my GALing, dropping the rope bit by bit? I am ten months in this month and as you know from my post you posted on, that we have had some hopelessness on my part.
We need to remember that they are on the rollercoaster and we can ride this with them with the ups and downs, but me, I actually would get sick from continually riding, so I will stand off to the side and be there when he decides he’s had enough.
Coming on this board has been a lifesaver. It is sad that so many of us are dealing with this, yet the community has been so helpful. I also would like so have some cookies!
Let’s continue doing our GALing and we can come out even better than when we came here.
