Bekindalways-
Yes, one step at a time and that is hard sometimes when so much is going on and I have to prioritize what I am doing and what comes first before the next. Sometimes like late last night I was like AHHHHHHHHH.
The lady running the DV counseling group had me lead the discussing for week 3 now and when I start talking I cannot stop and she smiles and says-ok, deep breath now, deep breath and that forces me back to a calmer state. If I try two many steps at once I risk falling and falling hard. Thank you all again for the encouragement. I know I am doing the right thing and I just need reminders of that every now and then. The more days that pass that I have no contact with him, the stronger I get.
