I've had them come out at times when it wasn't "safe", which has lead me to avoid so many things because I'm never sure what is going to happen. I'm not saying I have control over them, because frankly I never know what is going to happen. I do have to say the last 10+ years have been much different than when I was younger. I'm not sure if the deal they made with my ex is the cause of that, or if they just haven't had the need to deal with anything.

I guess I'll just wait and see what the therapist says... I'm just tired of trying to guess at what they are.
Thanks for this!
