First note: By "stabilize" I did not mean the same kind of stabilize one must wait for with TCAs or SSRIs. I meant stabilize as in, get used to what you're feeling, understanding when and why and taking the opportunity to work with those newfound abilities and feelings.
On to the response from Val... Are we related? I was saddened as I read your post, but smiled inspite of myself. Your words ring so true in my heart, and though it may seem difficult and bleak right now, I want to thank you so very much for sharing. I am a mother of five and wife of one-(thank the Lord!) and understand those heated debates between significant others, the rush of freedom to speak your mind to another bright face. It is so hard to realize that I'm the one who drove that freedom underground. Stripped the brightness from their eyes, put the chains on their ability to speak or respond. Yet, we can only work, and yes, it is work, at allowing them their space. Giving back what we took away, in the face of regret and repentance we have to keep trying to walk the walk, make real changes.You have really made me think about something I haven't thought about in a very long time, and I thank you sincerely. I don't mean for you to take any of my thoughts onto yourself personally, do not feel accused, for it is my own heavy heart of which I speak, and I can only thank you for allowing me to share in your thoughts.
We will push on towards the mark, Godspeed and God Bless!
