W will likely be moving slower than you. After all, she and you walked different paths. Piecing: Dig for patience. W is moving in a positive direction. Good to see you letting her proceed at her pace.
D
As always, thanks DnJ. People like you, R2C, SteveLW, job, Boat, Valeska, and more than I can probably recognize right now offer your time and support very graciously. For many of us, it comes at moments when we can feel very alone, are receiving often biased feedback from friends/family, and we're at our best when our decisions need to be. Once more, thanks for all you do.
Great point about W moving at a slower pace. It is definitely the case that I'm working to meet her where she is as she is ready and willing. I've still got plans with friends, time with D14, some solid "me" time, and more on the books at the same time. My IC has been available to meet again so we're doing some work on mental health hygiene for myself. I've also picked up about 20 lbs since the pandemic/March 2020 which I'm trying to chip away at. Continuing this work helps me extend patience to W. It feels different (in a good way) than after DB round 1. W appears to be fully "back in the game" of busting the potential for a D.
