Topics We Discussed

For those of us who have a positive reunion, sometimes we see others having a failed reunion and we feel guilty about our own happiness.
A range of reunion challenges - door slam, complete refusal, one foot in the door, letter from a lawyer, no answer
Are we only showing a “false self” so that they accept us? Or can we show our “real selves”?
How do I figure out who I am if I’ve been rejected from reunion, and haven’t been given the opportunity to find myself that I expected?
Things to watch out for that are unhealthy responses to reunion fail and advice for finding our identity post-reunion fail.
Some practices that Pam shares we could do regularly to help us work on healing.
