((((TAS)))) - When I broke up with T....I was in a terrible state revolving back and forth from a childlike state to my rational adult state. Every time I felt the awful overwhelming urge to pick up the phone and beg T to forget the break-up and let things go back to normal, I walked into the bathroom instead. I stood in front of the mirror and said over an over again "She cannot fix the child, she cannot re-parent you. She cannot fix the child, only you can do that. Not her. She cannot save the child." Over and over and over until the feeling passed. Take care of yourself TAS. It sounds like you are taking some healthy steps.
