Quote: I think I have changed from when I started DBing. I am stronger. I don't take things for granted. I have a better sense of my priorities. I feel like I'm more authentically myself. That's not a bad place to be--but I want H to be there with me.
Me thinks there is a lot of processing going on in the mind of the WAS. For me, I think she is having trouble believing that the changes seen are permanent. When slips happen (as they will) they are scrutinized 10 fold because of past behavior. The more time passes with us together I see more acceptance. I’m just patiently waiting for the time when we can sit down together and process everything that needs processing. My vision is that. Hers may be to attack it piece by piece when we do get a few moments together. Unfortunately, I don’t see it accomplishing much at the moment. I feel like we just get started then life interrupts, we deal with the issue at hand then lose where we were. I know the time will come. Patiently waiting in the mean time.
Sorry, I digressed. Back to our regular program…
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! On your acceptance. I wish nothing but the best as you embark on this new chapter. Take care, enjoy.
