I am a Libra. Which means I MUST have balance in my life. That balance has been off for too long.

Carl is pretty good about opening up, but in many ways he has to figure out some of it for himself before he can explain it to me. Thanks so much.

Yes we do seem to do that. At least now I know what I am up against and that gives me something to work with.

Space is a killer and when one does not have enough it makes people very tense. Thanks so much sweetie.

Bel, it does sound like you've got a handle on what the problem is
so dealing with it has got to be easier, once you know what it is that's bugging you. At least, that's the case for me. For example, I'm realizing how much the space limitations on this apartment, as much as I loved it and didn't want to give it up 6 months ago, are getting to me. I'd willingly trade the view for a bigger kitchen, for example, so I can cook easier.
You're fanstastic, you have so much wisdom and are so level-headed, I'm sure you'll work through this, too.

Most of the time just understanding a situation is the a great part of the solution. One can not repair the damage in anything unless they can identify the damage. Many blessings. You two will be fine.

I'm so thankful you guys are starting to understand some of what
Happened to both of you during that year. I know you'll be able to figure this out and get back to your normal, happy selves soon.
Maybe your upcoming vacation to Florida will help.

Sometimes just being able to put our finger on the reason
for something that seems to make no sense can lift a big weight from our shoulders. Every day something learned...

Yes, I understand that was kind of what I was commenting about on the other blog of your's where I posted a blog inside of your blog. I was mentioning that communication was really all you had and it was difficult to even communicate the feelings that you were both experiencing while away from eachother.
I know that you were trying to understand what Carl was going through and I'm sure he was trying to cocmmunicate, but it is hard to describe all of the emotions you go through over there and I know that it just gets frustrating after a while for both of you.
I'm glad that you are able to make some sense out of the madness now. I have felt that way lately about myself.....I have received a lot of clarity since blogging and writing out my feelings. Truly therapeutic!

Good luck with that,bel. Talking about being in the war is something most difficult. Most military men do not want to share that with anybody - even those most close to them. Hope you can accomplish that.

Are you a Virgo? You are one who prefers a set routine.......when it is disrupted, you become frustrated....over time you develop a new routine........Carl's coming back upset the new routine....... see how the flow works? It's a comfort zone thing........
That's not to say Carl is and will continue to experience his problems because of the war.....It took a couple of years for my brother to adjust when coming back from Nam........you never woke him up at close rang like poking him to wake up....you might get clobbered......but it really helped for him to talk it through, not hold it in....try and suppress his experiences.

sometimes things that are worth having can be painful from time to time. My veiw is if I can look back at the end of my life and find more joy than pain, it's been well worth it.
