For months I've felt nothing positive at all only empty. Then this burst of love and affection hit me.

It was overwhelming it only lasted a second but i felt like me again. Don't get me wrong i love my dc but this was different, its hard to explain.
I had forgotten how it felt to be me.
Now its gone and i feel so empty why has it gone?

I know just what you mean. I've had exactly the same experience. I hope it means you're on the road to recovery.

Hope this is the start of ur recovery as it was for me after I felt exactly what u describe above. I only have one DC so was absolutely besides myself in that period of no feeling!

I know exactly what you mean! You will feel it again and in time it will get more often. Smile
