> PC, the distractions I provide myself are short lived and soon the heartache returns. I feel very stupid and foolish for not being able to go forward. Yet I cannot get rid of the dead roots I still carry around inside.
>Gulp! I hate to say this, 'cause I think you've heard me say it before, but outside help is what ultimately brought me forward and incorporate my traumas into the Past instead of the Present, where I was letting them fester and hold me back. I realise that you have many demands from family and work on your time and attention, and making that extra space for looking after AdaGrace seems impossible... but
if your car had a flat tire, you'd take it to be fixed.
if your tooth ached, you'd go to a dentist and have it repaired.
if your roof had a hole in it, you'd stick a bucket under it (no, no, that's not what I mean!!) forgive me for trying to make light of your pain.You know what I mean, sweetheart. You done be broken. There are people who help to fix broken people like us. They are therapists, and no one needs to know you're seeing one, or what it's for, or anything. Can you consider trying this route, just to see if it helps?
love,
pc
