Caretaking recovery

[thankful person]

Thanks ducks as always for your encouragement. This is a bit off topic, but your comment about the hose reminded me of when my relationship with my ex was breaking down and I was having dreams about uncontrollable floods of water and taps I couldn’t turn off. And one dream about being in a horrific car crash. Meanwhile he dreamt I was committing suicide jumping off a building. I totally got why as well. Well, last week I had this dream… I was in some kind of parade but I was floating along on this inflatable toy we use to sit the baby up. And some random person said, “that looks pretty cool..” and I said, “it is cool, just you can’t decide which way to go, you just have to go where the wind takes you…” Basically I’m sure it means I’m in a much better place than when I left my ex for my wife seven years ago. And that is clearly massive progress, because I’ve been stuck in that loss of control mindset for seven years and I am only now finding my way out of it due to this forum. Still out of control, but a bit more at peace…
