((((((((((((((Big and Lil Treehouse))))))))))))))

If I am reading into this right - and we do seem to walk the same path most the time - it feels to you like lil tree, and all these constant "physical" symptoms are your undoing (at least it often does for me... "i'd be FINE if.... i could get through a day w/o migraines, losing my meals, getting some sleep... not having these constant aches and pains...). But here's the kicker - Lil Tree is the KEY to getting through the junk. Whatever she went through is WHY you're in therapy, why you have physical pain, why no dr can FIND causes to your physical pain.
I know you want to be with T. But really, you gotta let lil tree do some of the work. She's the one who got you this far - it is her wound. =(
(((((((((((((((((((hugs! and lots of them!)))))))))))))))))))
and ok - really, i'm rather... well, not *jealous* that your lil actually gets to be with t... but.... I dunno. mine stay in and let me sit there like a blank TV set while t talks to the "box" that is us. i wish they WOULD get out here and start in. But they refuse.
anyway... Oh i was also gonna say (as I am sure you know, but maybe need a reminder) that you can draw the pain. Let lil tree try. Next time you have a stomach ache or migraine - pull out the paper and crayons or markers and let you both have at it. It will also help to bring you together so that she can learn to trust you and you don't have to lose time when she is out. =)
