Thank you QM for understanding and relating. I'm sorry you're going through something similar.

L's time off is for different reasons. Yes, one being a vacation. I'm not trying to convince her to not go. I understand each reason. I think, and she thinks too, that I'm more triggered than normal because we've been working with my child parts.

I still haven't talked to her. I truly don't know to say. Sure, the child me is screaming "Don't leave me", but adult me understands why she is. Child me is afraid she's abandoning me, but adult me knows she always comes back.

I'm jusy waiting to either hear from L or T because I don't know what to do!
