Hi Crootie...unfortunately, it's the urge to drink when we're home alone that's making this a very tricky minefield to walk thru at the moment. Sometimes, as much as the adult wants to really listen to what li'l one is feeling/experiencing, the adult must make her sobriety her number one priority. Right now, it just really feels like there's this huge tug-of-war going on between us and I honestly don't know how best to handle it other than take very small baby steps with li'l one...and not...Read More...

Hi RHC As far as contacting your PT, perhaps begin the phone call by saying you have a PT related question and explain the specifics. And perhaps ask if she read yor email and say that you didnt realise a friendship wasn't possible and you don't want there to be any lingering awkwardness and you appreciate the help she's given. I don't know much about your history but is it possible the relationship you formed with your PT is triggering unresolved issues from the past? You said you have been...Read More...

YES!Read More...

((Muff)) Thinking of you in this painful time.Read More...

BLT! That was awesome to read T.Read More...

Hi Mayo, yes, that's what I understood, too. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near that yet. With T having left this week, I've been getting triggered no matter where I am or what I'm doing. The body sensations feel overwhelming. Li'l one feels utterly terrified and desperate that ALL key people in her life (few as they may be) are going to leave and never come back. The adult me has been craving numbness this week by way of alcohol. I sometimes wonder why I started down this healing path,...Read More...

((((muff)))) I cannot imagine the sadness you feel, but the sadness I feel for you is immense. Tears rolling down my cheeks, from half a world away RabbitEarsRead More...

Dear Muff, Heart is so heavy for you. I am so very sorry you are going thru this. Just as CD has said, I too wish I could have a cuppa with you. Thinking of you.Read More...

"i held the rage in and the thought ran through my mind how depression is anger turned inward. and it explained everything perfectly." You have learnt one of the most important things about therapy CD. Congrat's!Read More...

It made me uncomfortable too.Read More...

. I shall gather forces against her AG, and let T in on her way of thinking. He knows how naughty brain can be. Well, I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful...........Oh spit!Read More...

Cheering for you, Kid. Hang in there and hang out here...Read More...
