Thank you SO much to each of you for your kind words and your acceptance and support when I've been so absent

I do think I am moving into a more peaceful, healthier place. I can't believe what I had to move through to get here...but in the end, I know it will be worth it. And you're right...T is so good at looking at his part in things, and that's a huge reason why we COULD move through this.

I love this
I'm going to share it with T

I think I've realized there isn't a "most loved". That T loves me and he loves other clients too, and we all have our own relationships with him, and it's okay. I can't tell you how hard it was to really accept that deep down, but I think I finally have. I think I just wanted SO badly to be the most loved because I wan't loved as a child...but I'm learning that the love that T does have for me is "good enough".

This is how it is with my kids too. And I think I'm finally seeing that it can be that way with T and his clients.
