Reading through many of these I recognize so much more of what I share with so many others. I too get in "moods" from separation. My job has become harder for me as a police officer. Many times I scare myself and lack good judgement because of my anxieties. Before I could make decisions, be quick on my feet, confident & proud of who I am. Now, I need to hear from my wife so much more, just saying hello or checking in to see how I'm doing. When that doesn't happen, and I'm at work, I got to a bad place.
Therapy has helped tremendously but still sometimes I WANT to remember the hurt? I understand that's not a good place to go and am working more on that. But I find myself needing that attention more from her; coming home at the end of the day and sitting with me, asking me how my day was, giving me a hug & kiss. I feel like such a wimp now.
Reading these and getting responses back has been great. I'm constantly searching for more articles and forums just to help me. She's not so much the same in that regard; but working on things her own way. Thank you! I look forward to reading more.
Great material
