    Give jeanmhealy a hug

      From tortlawgirl October 28

      Hi there... sorry it's taken me so long to respond! I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of this specific website, so sometimes I miss stuff. Like hugs and such... LOL.

      But yes, FEELINGS. Holy moly. I'm just shocked at how much I ignored for the majority of my life. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I"ve been realistically NUMB for as long as I can remember. NUMB. No contact. No one home. It's scary to realize this... and at the same time, RIDICULOUSLY freeing and I'm slowly but surely being infused with JOY at now being able to IDENTIFY and EXPRESS how I'm feeling.... like I MATTER now!!!!!

      God is SO good to me!!!!

      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      I went in for the wrong reasons - should have been for myself but went in to save my marriage and was somewhat in denial. My husband is an addict also and there were lots of poor me feelings which were pointed out to be in no uncertain terms. Definitely was very beneficial.
