wow, that's great
I keep remembering learning to ride a bike and falling. It's an interesting metaphor, trying it on your own, feeling shaky, hoping for support so you don't fall. Maybe not finding it, but picking yourself up anyway and trying again.
I have very few memories of my father, but that's one, the learning to ride a bike. He let me go too soon. I suppose I remember it because it was how things were, how I felt, unprotected.
I'm an ACOA for whatever that label means. I did go to some meetings for a while. I've got that almost psychic hypersensitivity thing
(or at least I think I do ;-)
it's quite another thing to check out another's perceptions and not solely go with that hypersensitivity, and a very risky thing to do.
I guess my task continues to be sharing those instantaneous judgments and thoughts I keep to myself. I'm not used to sharing them.Well anyway, I'm glad for you. You sound like things are progressing.
