Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

Shorts summary--Was with ex gf for 1 1/2 years, broke up, stayed "friends" for about 3 months and went NC when she moved in with another guy about 6 months ago.

I didnt think about her until about a month ago when I became very angry thinking about what the relationship had done to my life, which I've managed to put back together.

I feel emotionally about as strong as I was when I first met her and for some reason I've been thinking of contacting her to say I have no hard feelings.

But I've been thinking about this and part of it is that Im having a hard time remembering the stress and pain she put me through and I keep thinking if I talk to her for a bit I'll remember what it was about her that I couldn't handle anymore.

I thought I had closure and was over everything. I know I dont want to be in a relationship with her again and as I said, my life is in a good place now but I find myself idealizing the the times where she would meltdown and need to me to rescue her, though at the time I remember I used to wish I could get away from her.

I was the one who cut off contact with her and I know she wont ever contact me unless I initiate it.

Im not sure why Im trying to relive the very bad parts or seeking them out just to convince myself that I did the right thing by moving on because I know, in my mind that I did the right thing to save myself.
