Hi Kristen
Actually… letting you know you are not alone only evokes positive feelings as it was meant to be a genuine expression of compassion. I know that for me, it is sometimes comforting to know people are sharing similar experiences. Not in a “misery loves company,” sort of way, rather just some support that their are others traveling the same road. Hope that resonates… be well… lori

So sorry for this delay in my response. At first, I didn’t want to rush a response, but then, an unexpected thing happened over the weekend. I put my dog of 13 years to sleep. I’m sharing this because my reaction was SO shocking to me. I was never a “dog person” and frankly, my dog drove me crazy for a variety of reasons. However, the loss I feel and the pain of his absence is so deep that it has triggered so many FPs. I find it amazing how opportunities to heal come to us in the most unexpected ways. Strangely, I feel like the way he died was such a blessing. He didn’t give me a chance to analyze or think… it was so fast, I only had time to feel. I am trying to be present with my vulnerability and take this open heart with me into other experiences in my life and see how it feels. So far, I’m still being challenged. As far as your relationship, I empathize. It’s so difficult not to run from ourselves or to self-sabotage. The level of awareness it takes to really act from a place of love, is one that I am only just beginning to understand. I wish you strength on your journey and leave you with the knowledge that you are not alone. Best… Lori

Hi Kristen
I just signed into the community, and i read your post. Some of it resonated with me, and I have a question for you about your relationship. Please don’t feel compelled to answer if it’s too personal. You say in your post, “it appears frightened parts of his personality ended the relationship.” Was it just FP of his personality, or yours too? Did you feel you were willing to continue the relationship? Do you feel or did you at the time feel that your growth with this person had ended? I’m in a relationship where I can see FPofP threatening the love on both our parts, but so far, the loving places manage to override. I’m wondering if you felt this way at one point and if things changed or was it always a struggle? Look forward to hearing from you, Lori
