Welcome back, WS!
It sounds as though this is the first time for a long time, that the pressures and bad feelings seem to have let up enough for you to be feeling a little bit optimisitic. You've been through a lot, but maybe this time, maybe a few things have gone right. Finally.
The group sounds like a really positive addition to once a week threapy. I hope it helps you feel a little more connected-- even if, like most groups, it presents frustrations, too. Groups always seem like a bit of an adventure to me-- I do'nt know why.
What's really important is that you'll have more than once a week therapy. You have Laurie's support, as a backup, too.. It's great the way that's evolved into a more present relationship-- it's taken a lot of work on your part-- that you should feel really good about. That plus the group could start to be a support network that mighthelp difference through some of the worst lows. I really hope so.
Plus a renewed sense of connection to Ginny-- which I hope can be sustained, even if there are times when it becomes frayed. Sometimes-- at least in my experiences with Ts-- you go thorugh these losses and reaffirmations of connection a lot for a while, and over time, the connection gets stronger and is much less likely to seem about to break. Each reconnection strengthens it.
I really appreciate Caraher's keeping us posted on how you were. But I'm glad you're back again!
