Such wise words indeed. You know, I like the idea of a step in detaching as controlling those reactions....I think I see it a bit more clearly now. Yes, I can control those reactions and still show her support. That makes sense.
Quote: Realize that she's got a TON of stuff going through her mind. She may be acting "normal" but she's no more normal than you, and lest you forget, you've spent a LONG time reading, posting, and being introspective about all this. You've gotten help. I bet she's just still living with this on her own, or possibly venting to friends. C helps, but again, you have done more that C.
And there's another wrinkle that I may have giving a passing thought, but no real contemplation. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a whole lot of close friends or family whom she would trust to vent to. She really IS dealing with this by herself.
