[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588059, member: 14557"] CJ: To be honest my first thought when he started to talk about his dissociation experiences to this detail was run away into the woods screaming, (or in reality deeper into the woods, we already were in woods walking dogs,) and find a nice big spruce and make a nest under it. It helped a little that I have read and searched information about dissociation after he was diagnosed with it and I do know it really isn't as dramatic as it sounds. But still it is rattling. And it makes it again very real to me, that his troubles are not just him deciding to be impossible or making bad choices or being stupid and immature. He may be also all that, and is at times, but he also has some legitimate issues that are not his choosing. That is something very important for me to keep in mind. It is so very easy to consider him just obtuse, stubborn, choosing to be difficult and obnoxious, when you deal with him. He knows how to hide his deeper challenges and vulnerability well and he really has extraordinary talent on annoying stuffing out from people (I guess everyone has to be good at something...) You are also right that he does seem to have lots of certain type of stubborn strength. Like juniper my mom, who was fond with nature references, used to say, yields but doesn't break and gets back up again and again (my more plebeian mind came up with rats and cockroaches...) and I do take comfort from the fact that in his own way he is very resilient in the end.
