Thank you. I agree, a statement of no contact with relatives is a sweeping statement. I'm speaking from hurt, and sure, it will probably change over time.

"Slay Your Fear" is great. It's like compressed IC. I can relate to some of the scenarios, and see behaviors of where I used to be. I really appreciate the specific improvement steps. What resonates is the concept of people versus outcomes. That is truly a different way of framing in a way I never considered. When I reflect on my R history, I never considered the people approach, and can see how my reactions on outcomes contributed to my current sitch. And moving forward, even now, I can see that. I can see how it can help me to keep things grounded on our new relationship.

Thank you for the tip, I can't wait to see what the other chapters look like.
