I've learned to tell L everything including when I feel hurt, upset, or anger with her. She's always been good about me expressing myself. She says it helps her tune into me, and allows her to understand and empathize. She's told me she's proud of me when I express such emotions. We have a few saying: "Talk it out instead of act it out" and "more to know, more to love". She says all feelings shouldn't be met with criticism or punishment, but kindness and compassion.

Rive, you doing okay? What's been your experience?
