My husband had received bad news from the doctor he would be tested for Hepatitis C. He was tired and not feeling well so he went to bed early. Not uncommon for him. I couldn't stay at home so I took my children to the local high school play. My ex-boyfriend knew it was me sitting a few rows in front of him because of my body language. I'd sat down in the chair and pulled my knees up to my chest and had my back to him. I was crying during the show filling guilty that I'd unintentionally exposed my children to Hepatitis C and trying not to let my children see me crying. I'd pulled myself together by the end of the 1st act feeling better after releasing my emotions. My ex-boyfriend came up to me and said hello. He figured out my email address and sent me a message saying he thought it was me that walked by him and started watching me. He knew it was me when I pulled my knees to my chest. Over the last two years my husband's health hasn't been the best, and most of my battle with his health issues that I face is me being myself. Eighteen years later, even under emotional stress I was myself. My body language proved it.
I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with Hepatitis C. I hope things work out for the best for you and your family's health. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. I have had people who I haven't seen in years tell me the same things, that I did the same hand gesture or the same facial expression from when we were younger. So, its interesting to see that some of our gestures and emotions have been with us for years and it has become apart of us.
