Dear T,

Since my hiatus, all that self discovery work has led to this:

Conclusion: if all parties involved are filled with puzzle pieces, but given the impression that each puzzle piece holder has disdain for the other, then of course there's lack of communication between the parties.

Lesson Learned: Each party member was played.

Bond Factor: A Baby Girl

Denominator: Each has experienced our own versions of pain.

I'm feeling Cathartic at the moment.

Reminded of the song, I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way...going to be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day.

So strange because although when I started I did want to revisit my past, losing my mom plus the work through on my apron strings items that I had been addressing before losing her and the struggles from marriage through divorce and after took center stage.

During our last session, the work was on considering romantic relationships going forward, my wants/needs lists, what's my figurative profile? It's not so much a work in progress list, as a hiatus list due to my seriously asking myself do I have room/space in my life with all I've going on.

Must be able to have patience and wherewithall with my children. A sense of humor. Ability to roll with the punches. No desire to come to my rescue or ability to resist that impulse. Someone that sees me as an equal, condescending complexes need not try. Someone with emotional capacity, meaning in touch with emotions aka mindfulness trained. Have had some cbt work because it will show, there's evident differences. I could continue, however must pause writing a moment...leading into the ability to give me space.
