I just posted under my old topic of "Healing Emotional Wounds" about my feelings of insult and indignation at the thought of my experiences with the man who rejected me, and about whom I've posted.
Today, I realized I was not feeling those exact feelings anymore, but more accurately, REVULSION! I am surprised to reach this stage in my thinking about my experiences with him, having been hopelessly smitten by him and "in love" with him.
Evolving to this stage is familiar to me from recovery from past traumatic relationships. It comes from having opened myself up to risk, being intimate and loving, totally committed, and then being deeply hurt.
I realized today I would not want to run into him by chance, would go out of my way to avoid him, would not want to speak to him, much less chat.
Is this a normal stage in recovery, or unique to me?
Whether it is normal or not, I welcome it!!!!
