Emily Nagoski on the importance of having a proper "home", in the form of a person, who accepts you as you are and let's you experience all your emotions without shaming, blaming and disrupting. I hope you have found your "home" and feel safe there:
"Home is the place—physical and emotional—where we can discharge stress without being judged or shamed or told we just need to relax or forget about it. Home is where we receive our partner’s loving presence. People who listen with a loving presence are calm, attentive, and warmly attuned to the other person. In the very best relationships, we’re allowed to experience all forms of stress—anger, fear, shutdown—and receive the loving presence of our partner sitting still and quiet through the storm."
