“What he did see of you (traces of you).. he didn’t want to see. He wanted to clean his house from.. you”

“But your emotional reactions were not about the present situation. Hatchling- for whom the past is the present, as there is no distinction between past & present.. and Everything is still happening NOW)”

“If you noticed, I did not address this post to hatchling. What do you (the adult. Seaturtle) think and feel about this post?”

It makes me have grace for my (hatchling’s) response, but it also makes me feel out of control. Hatchling wants out of my fathers house, and I want her to be out as well, I left his house 4 years ago. Is being with N too similar to living with my father for her? Does hatchling need a more nurturing partner or even none at all? I feel like your answer to this will be ‘no, Seaturtle needs to be more nurturing’ but I am doing everything I can and I still feel overwhelmed by hatchling’s responses to N. But even you have said he is the perfect partner, so why is it so hard for me to feel safe and rested.

Wanting to run away now is a similar feeling to when I would want to run away from my dad.
