Between my therapist and my pdoc, I am feeling very well cared for. From my husband I seem to be getting a lot of lessons on how to build and maintain boundaries. That's what made Christmas so hard - he doesn't get the not being able to eat thing, and he was really cross with me for not eating all the food he'd put on the table - yes, him. I was struck low on the sofa, and he had gone to an Italian catering place and bought tons of food. I just couldn't touch any of it. But he's trying.
And he thinks my family is completely batty, so he's supportive of my backing away from them.
I really hope this new year is better for each of us.
