Well, I'm going to try. My heart might be bleeding all over this, but it's also my desire.

Finding out it's a girl hit me on so many levels. 1.The grief that I can never have my dream of having a little girl. 2. It broke the fantasy that I could be L's little girl. Now she'll have a real daughter. I know. #2 is probably pathetic. But it's truth. I had a in-person and phone session with her Friday where I just broke down in grief. Those two things are my deepest issues: never being a mom and never having a loving mom. L thinks it's finally time to work on these two things. Maybe she's right. And maybe she is the right person to do this work with. But I need to forgive her in order to trust her. How do I do that? Just choose to? Or just commit without complete closure?

Thats why they say its a process. If you want to acquire a skill, you have to recommit to practicing it. Trust isnt a decision - its acquired in the doing.

Una, I think I'm understanding. In order to trust, I have to go through it, not sit back and wait for it to miraculously happen.

I'm so sorry, Scarlet.
As you said to me a few days ago, 'Your feelings are valid.' Now that L is going to have a daughter, reality has set in for you...and that is hard. I hope you can find a way to trust L that feels comfortable for you.

I keep thinking, here at 430 in the morning, trust is like singing a song. You commit to singing it, but then you actually sing it. |
