Thanks! Yeah I'm especially learning it lately (as you can see in my most recent thread on the Psychotherapy forum). I don't think I'm meaning to get stuck in "not perfect." For me it's healing to remember that my recovery doesn't have to be perfect. I don't have to fix every little piece. My ex said I was afraid to be human. He was right. I'm trying to learn to be okay just being human. I think if I were considering "not perfect" in a different way maybe it would be unhealthy. Luckily that's not actually how I'm seeing it!

Hah! Good point! No one ever told me this! It was something I had to learn through experience! All the reassurance in the world wouldn't have convinced me! Thanks for the reminder. It just shows me further that it is NOT my place to tell my sister how she
should be healing!

Yeah. *sigh* I guess that's true. I just always want to do the right thing, you know? The thing with the best possible outcome.
I guess that is what I am doing.
