Grace I hope you are doing ok and I appreciate the questions because it makes me think. I wanted to be a nun when I was 12, I don't think that is an option now.Lol! I can't see myself romantically involved with anyone except my husband and I do love him. My C. tried the first 2 sessions to help me set some goals, the big one being getting past the anger. I keep trying to read DR and I can see that realistic goals are important and the first step to getting over anger is to quit feeding it, and feeding it I have done. Everyday. It only keeps me upset, so I can understand how the stop sign thing could help.
An old Cheech and Chong movie has Cheech in a tutu playing in a band, and one of the lines to his song says,"My Momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live, but I don't listen to her cause my head is like a sieve." I feel like that sometimes. My mind can't hold anything.
I think I am ready to try and begin to heal and let go of the anger. It's not helping me.
I have been going through this since last year, but I didn't know anything about DB and muddled my way through probably doing everything wrong and playing into the OW's game plan. I think I am going to try something different. When I learned how to bowl years ago I was terrible, and I asked a friend what I was doing wrong, she said " I don't know but do something different even if it's wrong".
You are a sweetheart Grace and I appreciate you so much. I hope you are taking care of yourself. Love, Violets
