Flirting with Time

[SuperDad]

Dave,
Greetings from Austin, TX, where the hippies still think it is the summer of love! I actually caught the Dead a few times myself and the charm of the lifestyle was alluring, if not too practical.

I think you already know that you are on the right path. W needs to find out what she really wants, what will make her happy in the long run. She cannot do this if she is only halfway focussed on her mission and halfway focussed on being the happy homemaker that she has decided is not her.

In this way, we are in VERY similar sitches. I see now that a new R/M will only be possible after the old one is COMPLETELY dismantled, all the way down to its foundations. The lingering, familiar roles that we play are comfortable, but can get in the way of this deconstruction/rebuilding cycle that must be done at mid-life. Not much fun when only one person realizes this is it?

Take care,
SD
