[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 676059, member: 15801"] I am not clear on why you stopped all contact this time... Was he disrespectful or was this being just self protective? I think those feelings of numbness can be just self protection, kind of an armor we put on because feeling the feelings is just too painful. For me also those moments have come when I have been angry and then get some real clarity and know what I have to do..... And so in the moment am just calm and clear. The feelings are there in those times but not at the surface. I don't know if this is what you are experiencing or not. The fact is I think given what we all have to deal with..... Some of what we have been through with our children is just plain traumatic.... And numbness can be a reaction to trauma.... Again it is a way to protect ourselves. [/QUOTE]
