Aphrodite,
I think you hit the nail on the head -- there are two aspects of my younger self and it is getting harder to keep her outrage at the limitations under control.
As far as answers to the pain, typically we will talk about what helps - writing, losing myself in a book, or researching whatever is up for me at the time. Lately it has been integration. But mostly he tells me that I just have to sit with the feelings and when they get to be too much, to call him and touch base, just so that I'm not alone. And he always reminds me to not isolate myself, that being with other people keeps me out of my head, especially if I'm spending time with my kids. Sometimes I just can't force myself to do that, but when I do, I usually feel better.
Happy Thanksgiving to you. I meant to get this written last night but fell asleep on my keyboard.
Daisy
