Tell us more about this Rock. The newbies need to read it and the rest of us would like to know too
So, I have come to appreciate the gift of time and space. At BD I really didn’t get it and I was in fight/flight mode and disoriented trying to seize what I was losing. A lot of pursuit. I have learned that I need to be settled peaceful and well. I have been working on this for months and months but Honestly, it has been going better for me since just before Christmas. My friends and family are noticing and W has been commenting several times how much she is enjoying doing things together and all the things I am doing for us to have peace and fun.
I am paying attention to this and doing more of what is working while staying on track to do it for me. And I realize that I really like myself so I enjoy my time away from her. I like having days of no contact with her. I question my motives before reaching out and have eliminated so much unnecessary and unhelpful smothering behaviours. And then I don get tossed around like a yo yo as much in my emotions.
