Would you stand outside with a bucket ?

Stop worrying over every little thing that you have absolutely NO control over....

No matter the reason he walked.....you probably have less to do with it than you think.

Doesn't make you perfect...just human...

YOU.....have your own list of "what if's" to work on. Don't pile on his too.


I replied to you on ST's thread.....

You know ... I lost sight of this. This is HIS issue. He manifested it in us because it's easier than dealing with himself. I need to get the F out of his way and let him deal. I need to reread Laura Munson's article...

What if a frog had wings? It wouldn't bump its a$$ a hoppin'

Your journey has nothing to do with whether H is MLC or not.

Read Mach's post again.

What is your goal?

Some sign from H?

H this?

H that?

Take the focus of H.


My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am

Thanks Mach1 ...

I am reading, and reading and rereading. I guess the setbacks are normal and part of the journey towards detachment - and the fewer I have the faster I move towards detachment maybe. I am trying to understand the MLC and I guess that's why I asked the question "is this an MLC, what if it's not and he's a WAH?" I wanna make sure I'm studying the right monster.

In a nutshell ... what's your sitch? Did you cycle in and out on your way to detachment?

Ok, now that I type that I realize what I really want is a new M ... with H.

dude, I would...could be a real gold mine! wink

PEI, sorry to hear about your backslide. i know it's hard but 1 - it's good you saw lessons learned 2 - you do have to give yourself some compassion. your sitch is tough and everyone's advice to take care of yourself is so crucial.

and i know i sound like a broken record but really consider talking to a db coach again (i know you said you were saving up for another session). i went through a similar sitch last week re "OW" and coach told me that my prying and getting caught up in it is a way of being controlling. did someone say control?? man, it rears its ugly head in so many diff't ways.

sending you some virtual love ((PEI))

From myself ?

It does...


Ohhhhh...look at the pretty boxes....







I'm in the middle of the legal battle now....


More craziness than I would ever want to watch....

I stand calmly and watch, try to not get sucked back onto the roller coaster.

When I realized that it wasn't my battle anymore, things got a lot easier.

I still strive daily to be a better person, and that will never change ....

At least not until they are throwin clay on top of me.

Yep. Ouch. Hmmmmm. Need to put some thought into this. Didn't really see it that way.

I am hoping to have a session with Cheryl very soon ... $ is tight though so it's gonna take me some time to save. I could really use it though so I'm making it a priority.

Thanks ... (((hugs))) back at cha!
