And i will go slow, give myself time to see them more clearly.

Just having a hard time meeting *anyone*...no-one of any interest has shown up yet.

Perhaps that's cuz my heart is still tied up in the ex? I'm not putting out "I'm available" vibes to the Universe? Just can't get other things to replace the thoughts of him.

I should be grateful it's done, cuz he was an abusive alcoholic, after all the charm, but......groveling to cruel people just to try and get a crumb is so very deeply ingrained in me (i saw that very clearly in myself last night while journaling)

So, I'm trying a new "mantra" -- I am grateful to not be tiptoeing on eggshells and yelled at all the time...

The new therapist left for summer vacation so I am deciding now to do good work on myself till she's back.
