No, really. I do need to work thru some remaining resentment, probably through more self-care, but practicing a few scripts will help me to be caught less off-guard when spontaneous opportunities occur. Wes, I tended to use more general, "lazy" forms of validation, so more personal/specific validations, as well as requests for her input, should play out better.
Interesting. XW's best-friend just disclosed a sizable personal issue to me, asking for my confidence and support. I confirmed both. Could be a test or communicated trust? Not sure if this means anything regarding XW - likely a completely separate issue. But I do feel complimented that she was able to approach me so.
