Oh, my family would tell you that I'm worse!!!
But what they don't realize is the hell I've been through because of my marriage, (well actually they do know). Without my T. I would have snapped a long time ago.
What I know is that much of the change has occured on the "inside" and no one can feel how that feels to me so they wouldn't notice the changes I've made. My T. knows me, and we both comment on how much I've changed. That's about all that matters to me right now. What I feel inside and how I used to feel. It is a huge difference.
I'm sure you've grown gardengirl. I think that our loved ones tend to look at our weeknesses instead of our strengths.
So do you think you've made progress? Progress is hard to make and not without pain. The pain is what my girls have witnessed in me and so they blame it on my T. They actually don't like her at all. Many times I have come home from seeing her feeling very sad and depressed. So they'd blame it on her. I've been with her now for over 9 years. At times I ask her if I'm a slow learner, and she says this work takes time, it is a process and everyone does it in their own time frame.
