Feelings are feelings. They're neither good nor bad. I can't help feel separation anxiety. As far as why I want to describe ot to her: 1. My goal thos year is direct communication. AND 2. L wants to know. Seriously. We talk about it a lot, and I've tried describing it to her, but I don't feel like I'm able to capture it completely with words. I thought if other people could describe their experiences, I might be able to find the words. This is in no way to manipulate L!!! She knows this. This is just so she can relate better to how and why I feel what I feel. Like I said before: She wants to know how I feel!
