DBNow

your last two posts have been very encouraging. I'm glad you get to spend quality time with your daughters and you should be proud of how you've grown and learned about yourself during this awful 8 or 9 months.

You are seeing "baby steps" and her explaining to you in psychological terms what she thought happened to her during the time the family split is a big step, she's cares enough to ask you to understand what she was going through and in a way it's an apology - like I presumeshe's identified she had problems that contributed to the break up of your marriage. That's huge.

You are also right that you need to take it slowly. Remember the skills in the DB book. Validate her when she talks to you, treat her with loving detatchment, be kind and patient.

Great work, keep it up.

(((hugs))))
