Hi Anita

No, there was definitely nothing that upset me. I definitely understand that you are intending to help and not to hurt. You have been very kind to me. 😊

I’m sorry to hear that your mother blamed you for her hurt feelings. Sometimes children can trigger memories and feelings from the parents childhood, but the child is never at fault and it is the parents responsibility to respond to their children with compassion no matter what they are feeling.

I can understand why that would make you feel a little anxious sometimes when writing to me. Please continue to express yourself and I will happily let you know that everything is okay.

Things are a bit better for me today. My husband has been trying to be more affectionate.

In a way, I have been doing just that. That is what the break is for. We are at the next step now which is spending time together and being affectionate. I think it’s really important to work on the positive bonding aspects of the relationship. My husband has been hurt by me choosing not to share my feelings with him. But I think that it is a good thing because of the situation. He is starting to come around and see it as a good thing I think. It is helping us both to emotionally regulate.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
