Dear B:
Good to see you back here! A meeting at a coffee shop, you, him and a puppy. “Shoulds” “Maybes” and a kiss.
Sounds like you are doing good work with your therapist… who helps you see more and more beyond the Black and White thinking of your mother, see colors and even humor, and you can relax as not everything is taken by another as a personal affront.
How are you feeling as you are reading this? Please do post anytime…
