Dear Helcat:

You are very welcome, and thank you for your appreciation, it means a lot to me. It means a lot to experience a healing of a relationship, here in the forums, the relationship with you. It gives me hope for healing between people. It gives me a bit of hope for healing between groups of people, such as between nations.

“Thank you for seeing me“- it is a pleasure (and a relief) to see you positively. It makes me feel so much better!

“I think that sleep deprivation makes things worse“- I relate. Thankfully, in the last two nights I slept significantly better than earlier.

“You are right about feeling safe being important. I’m glad that since the pregnancy and the baby he has been more open with his feelings. He was very stoic for a large part of our relationship…sharing is fairly new to him“- reads like he is in a process of emotional awakening, reads like he is Working on stuff of his own. Such a process is never smooth or easy.

“What an adult can cope with a child cannot and he understands more every day“- you are very attentive to your son, a very good mother (from the totality of what you shared over time).

“The couples counsellor is doing a good job of helping us to come up with strategies to manage this like talking when the baby is asleep. Love and best wishes! ❤️”- reads like a competent, quality counselor!

Love and best wishes! ❤️-  back to you, Helcat!
