Hi Anita,

Thank you for the congratulations, it is still a rough ride.

You are right in that I gave her that information with the intent of arming her to work through any issues that will inevitably arise. It was also intended as a warning of parts of myself that are not so desirable. I wouldn’t say as such that I put her on a pedestal, I didn’t expect for her to fix me but to support and help me along fixing myself. I don’t know maybe I did expect too much we didn’t take things slow enough for me to really know each other before I took that leap of faith.

If you don’t mind me asking, after doing something similar and viewing someone wrongly as capable, have you taken a different approach since? Or have/would you still be open about your issues going in?
