Yeah, I think right now I am kicking up the topic of "renegotiation" a couple of notches, as I undo the grooming. I think I need to speak to a few people, because I feel that there is a lot "undoing" and reshaping to do, and they go very deep.
This is the re-orientation of the self with the larger world that I am trying to learn and do. It feels a little bit like a snake shedding his old skin. There is a period of vulnerability. I am not sure if this is the right place to find support and compassion.
