Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Today a friend had a problem with her mother. There are some long standing family struggles going on and all is normal and manageable. I spent almost an hour listening to her talk about her mother and I think for the first time I did not feel anything regarding my nada. She talked about visits and encouraging her older mother to do more activities. Now I know that this is an ideal dream for me and I think a year ago I would have almost dropped to tears. But I was able to talk with her about her problem and not interject nada stories or do any real comparisons verbal or in my thoughts. I came home and spent the evening just buzzed. I really think that this is a milestone for me and my healing from my nada. I know that I am not ready for contact yet but I think that this is a good sign that I am stronger now more then ever. No matter what it means I feel good about it so I am going with it. Just wanted to share. Trina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi Trina, I agree, this is a milestone. You - as a individual separate from your nada - were able to listen to your friend, focus on her problem and her need. You have healed enough that someone else talking about her mother did not trigger any negative emotions. It is great that you have recognized it, and thanks for sharing it with all of us.
