Session 17

We touched base on the pre-session things I noted, including a check-in on the letter. I identified that I was having a tough time with identifying him as fully malicious, having now remembered the positives. We explored it a bit and she promoted the idea that he isn't the nice guy he was pretending to be - he's actually the mean guy who hurt me. It was hard to hear and it's hard to think about it that way. Before writing the letter, I was perfectly fine demonizing and villainizing him. I think the letter opened a lot of wounds and a sense of loss for the friend I had - the person he pretended to be. 

Next session we should know if we're pregnant - so that's exciting (and terrifying). Blood work is on the 26th to find out!
