Thank you @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

and PEACE to both of you lovely women.

I am feeling better about being a woman with your friendship and others here.

My psychologist was concerned about me last week and told me to focus on self care for a while. We have passed the anniversary of my first giving of birth. 

Sunday.  It was peaceful.  No sight or sound from my daughter. 

Monday  I had a good counselling hour and half, with my son, where we were both setting parameters for what we hoped to gain from the sessions.

I mentioned that the former fellow had blamed me for my son's "predicament"  This fellow said all that stuff must be unpacked, but it was right for me to question it.  Generally he seems more tuned into having both people in the room heard and validated. 

So there is hope.

Still going gently.
