I really enjoyed the post, but something that maybe wasn’t the focus of it really stuck out to me.
i think i felt a little bit of it with Collin when i was trying to help him find a way to exercise regularly. the memory is very hazy, but i think the feeling was focused on the very long list of physical activities that were ruled out; it seemed the solution could not involve Collin having to tolerate discomfort. much like with Gloria and the “bees”, i experienced some kind of emotional impulse to be separate from him, to push him away, to judge him to be inadequate or unworthy. (it wasn’t super strong in that case, and i did actually succeed in helping him find an exercise routine that he stuck with for years.)
I would find it really useful if you wrote an explanation of how you achieved this in particular, as exercising regularly is one of those ‘canonically difficult’ things to do.
