One of the things I get with interacting with more and more people is the ability to work on the little parts of me that I can't do alone. Well I got hit with another one today. I've been enjoying the friendship with Spa girl and getting into my groove with it after setting some boundaries up. Anyway she was happy today since they were going to move the spa to a better location. It's a good move for them, but I was sad. Spa girl picked it up before it had even registered with me. I know it has nothing to do with her just old tapes.
When I was young I moved enough times to be an army brat. So having friends ripped away from me was common place. So nowadays when it happens and I'm not the cause it still brings up old wounds. So I'm just feeling them now. Most likely I didn't do them way back then that's for sure. The biggest thing for me is to just feel them and not try to down play or cover them up which are my old ways.

You can still keep in contact though, right?
My empathy --
Oh, I know that Army brat syndrome all too well. I get the uncontrollable urge to pack up and move every 2-3 years.
I can relate to Anna's comment, and to your post about losing friends. Every time we moved, I had to start all over. As an adult, I really can't stand to lose anyone from my life.
