Day 21 ~ full loops of Stark & LME
Washout begins tomorrow. Not sure whatās happening with my stack going forward.
I dreamed of my ex fiancĆ© quite a bit last night. I also woke up in sleepy state fantasizing about him. It felt like it was real. He was right there pressed against me and it went very sexual and erotic. I keep having flashbacks of the good times. When I see him in the physical I retreat and donāt like that. My voice softens and I feel this desire to submit to him or something. This is new for me. Itās like a follow his lead type thing. Except he isnāt taking any action towards us trying again. Maybe itās a dead horse.
I donāt enjoy oneitis as @Trader puts it.
I donāt wanna be limiting myself in the area of finding my life partner. Power couple duo.
I just canāt seem to shake these feelings and thoughts for him.
I want to be pursued not be the pursuer. I felt I was the pursuer a lot with him. 
Dunno.
Edit:
Iām noticing some things stirring up with LME. Noticing this fear of when my kids getting older if they will be successful. Will I have done my job right in the sense of teaching them how to become independent, self sufficient, able to self advocate, take good care of themselves, go after their dreams and use interdependence rather than get into trauma bonds /co dependency. I see how my upbringing impacted my growth and development but I also went into foster care at 14, living border city with Detroit. It was a culture shock to say the least.
My triumphs and troubles helped make me who I am today. I just donāt want my kids to struggle the way myself and my peers did.
I do see I am missing working with children and youth with this sub. I have a 3 year college advanced diploma in Child and Youth Work. I worked in childcare, public schools and child protective services. Iām not sure where Iāll take this going forward. I notice I am watching career driven people vs entrepreneurs. I am in the entrepreneur world for just over a year now. Iām super contemplative. Iāll sit with this. I dreamed of being a speaker and author sharing my story and what helped me. Turning my experiences into something artistic. I pictured a movie or tv series. Books. Music.
I was a songwriter and musician for many years but with kids I sort of brushed it aside. I still play sometimes but definitely isnāt the same.
Maybe Iāve gotta get myself more involved in the community even as a volunteer or something. Take some actions towards my big fat wild dreams.
I was going to take Communication Studies at the university nearby when I was 20, but chickened out. It felt very overwhelming having so many ideas and dreams. A big giant vision. Iām now 36 and what have I made of myself so far? Iāve gotta look more at my accomplishments and not just my so called failures.
Back to LME though, I really do appreciate the fact that I am acknowledging my fears about my kids growing up. Making sure Iāve done right by them. Also questioning what is healthy dependency when they are adults. Adults and all people of any age/stage have developmental and chronological age. What if they have actual developmental delays and need your support long past the societal standards?
My ex fiancĆ© still has a lot of support from his parents but is also super responsible and skillful in other ways. I observe his family and sometimes see how I may have to be that way with my oldest. I see some resemblance between my ex and my teenager. I think my ex is on the spectrum very high functioning. His cousin was diagnosed with Aspergerās when that was in the DSM many years back. Itās in my family too. I believe I probably fall somewhere on the spectrum but lucked out getting the supports I needed in high school.
Okay, rant over.
