Just to let you know that is really typical.
By the way, Toughlover, Grasshopper and Sven have some great threads on the male side of piecing.
I forgot if I posted this on your thread, but a good book (in addition to DB and DR), that's helpful with piecing is "Getting Back Together." I can't think of the author. But one thing that really helped me in the book was realizing how healthy separation can be (a time for growth and healing). It gave me a whole new perspective on separation and the usefulness of it.
Kidsaver I do remember you from the separation board and I'm really glad to see you here.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
