My boyfriend has the extraordinary gift/curse of communicating with spirits. Just one of his many gifts! He has the ability to see into your past and feeling your emotions (empathy ability). No doubt he has been richly blessed with all of this.
Now, about a month ago (end of January beginning February) we were sitting discussing our respective father's and their ways. When we were sitting in our room, he all of a sudden asked me if I wanted to speak to his dad. And said something along the lines of "Adb, meet my dad"
Ok, now just to be clear, I believe in spirits always have and always will. But this freaked me out a little. Being "introduced" to my boyfriend's dad just that suddenly, not even knowing that person was even there. I got this feeling of fear, I don't understand this, but I believe it was the suddenness of the introduction that caused this fear to happen.
He all of a sudden asked me: "Why are you afraid?"
Now I did not know how to respond to this, because I was thrown into a confused state and my function of brain to mouth forming words ability suddenly left me. He quickly closed off everything and has kept quiet about it.
How does a person respond to being introduced to your spouse's non-living parents? Without any warning whatsoever that the person/persons are even present? Rhetorical question I know, but I did not handle it well, and it gets extremely difficult to "hide" your emotions to an empath that can pick up every and all emotion that you have.
I have come to the conclusion just to accept it. I have all these questions I want to ask him because he was extremely close to his dad. But will only ask when I am ready to receive the answers. At this moment in time I am not ready yet and just take comfort in the fact that our respective fathers are watching over us and guiding us.
Rook: I have spoken to my boyfiend about it, and he does understand. He understands how I feel about it, and is not forcing the issue at this stage, we are open about it and he let's me know these days when there are any presences in our flat, this is something I have requested from him so I don't get caught off guard again.
Bluemoon: He does not see it as a gift, but as a curse. And being with him I do understand that he sees it like this. I view it as a gift and a curse, he is more open to the paranormal world and through this has given me the greatest gift I could have asked for. Letting me know that my father is still there.
