((((((Bee)))))),

I told you Doug brings out things in you that are helping you grow.

You would have never faced something like this while with your husband.

I was with a stifling husband like that too, Bee. Could never express anger. Couldn't even express my opinion.

I can see this is HUGE DEAL for you. I used to call them my "grand realizations" -- times when you actually were able to look at WHY you felt the way that you did and WHY you did some things.

It's a grand feeling to be able to finally breathe, isn't it

A good next step would to learn to use your words to express what's going on with you rather than acting it out just with your body. Believe me, sugar, it's much better (SELF-wise) to SAY "I have a problem with that" or "That makes me angry" then to have that gut-sick reaction in your tummy. There are subtle ways of getting the conversation focused on YOU or getting "you" included in conversations. You'll be learning all of that great stuff now that your SELF is free

I think that The Universe put Doug in your life as a teacher. He's gonna teach you how to FEEL again

BIG HUGS (and love).
