...of feeling safer is that your tolerance of risk also becomes smaller. Back when just being alive and mostly functional was an accomplishment, everything else seemed like small potatoes in comparison. I notice I’ve been worrying about smaller and smaller things, worrying more about what other people are thinking than I used to. My perspective has shifted, becoming what I would characterize as more petty and withdrawn. This whole “getting over” business is not at all straightforward.
Tindomiel--43T keeps dropping my acute "o"! has written 2 entries about this goal
Eventually, I’m going to have to confront my ex about transferring the titles out of my name. I have no idea where the paperwork is, and I’m still paying registration fees on two of the bikes.
In my mind I still think he has a serious chip on his shoulder and may be volatile or dangerous and I do want a lawyer to help me sort all this out. I don’t know that I can afford a lawyer right now (I make enough that they’re probably not going to give me a fee break, but a lot of that money is going into repairing my savings, which I spent trying to support my ex). And let’s face it, I’m chickenshit. If I even think too long about him I still get flashbacks. But I can’t wait until I feel better because feeling better is going to take a long time.
