> I'm really confused right now.Hi muffled. I think it is scary when someone we care about shows that we're important to them. I know there are lots of different reasons why people would think this. A lot of varied reasons depending on what sort of childhood issues you have.
But it's not crazy. It's perfectly sane and even smart and careful if stuff from your past has shown you that people aren't trustworthy.
I guess the hard part is trying to believe that you don't have to run this time. That this time it is safe to stay and trust and let her sit with you and listen to you.
> It all came up when I said I think I'm getting attached to her. Which probably isn't a good thing.
> But she says its ok.Maybe your admission scared you just as much as her saying you're important to her. They are both very scary things to say or hear.
I think you did really well and maybe you could give your kid a smile and a treat.
Here's one for your kid from me :)
