Thank you my friends. Feeling ok today. I sent another nice text to my W last night which she hasn't responded to. She always gets back on texts, so she's obviously sulking because I don't want to be her friend. Playground antics.
I was actually thinking last night about this MLC. I read somewhere that the MLCer goes back to a time when they didn't resolve their issues. I was trying to think what time that was for my W. I came up with the thought that her big transition time was in her early teens. She went through puberty young and also put on a lot of weight that her mother used to comment on quite openly. She has always had body image issues dating from that time. I have always told her how beautiful she is but she never believed me. Interestingly, I noticed on Sunday that she's put more weight on again recently.
She had to grow up quickly as the eldest of 5 children and was often a carer for her younger brother and sister, 10 and 11 years younger than her. At that time she also had a friend who really bullied her and she was very unhappy.I wonder whether subconsciously she feels she never really got to be a carefree teenager.
