Hi Kitty

This is not about waiting while being abused. We can go somewhere safe first, and then "wait" there.

It is about doing what you are doing. You have made what you feel is probably the right decision. But if you feel shaky about it, you can wait until you are stonger, or surer. And you don't have to feel guilty about that. At some point, JT calls it our "moment of clarity" we see clearly and can then move forward with confidence.

Many decision we make are not comfortable. When I wouldn't allow my son to live at home, that was a painful, uncomfortable
decision. But I KNEW it was right. It took time and repeated bad behaviour before that clarity came to me, but it came.

You are making great strides in your recovery, and can have some faith in your instinct and feeling of what is right and when it is right.

Trust that and trust God. The rest will fall into place...when it is time.
