In reply to tenderness, posted by annierose on May 5, 2007, at 22:22:09
What a lovely post. It strikes me that this was missing from my parents in a big way too - tenderness and gentleness. And yet, I do have the capacity to be tender, I just hide it a lot. It wasn't valued, in fact it was frowned upon.
I think you are doing amazingly hard work in therapy. To stick with it and really try to work a disagreement through is exhausting. It speaks to the value of more than 1x per week, if you can do it. Can you imagine three weeks of trying to sort all this out?
btw - my experience with you is that you are tender and caring so cut yourself at least a little slack. :)
