DaveJ I am very impressed. Great going on you list of goals and breaking them done into a time line.
DaveJ and Heimlich I recommend you 2 go out or order online a book called "Codependent No More - how to stop controlling others and start caring for yourself" by Melody Beattie. It was recommend by 33wendell. I am about half way through it and I am confident that if I would have had this book a year ago I would not be in the mess I am today. It just may be the tool for me as a person and also for my R. It has helped me so much already to DETACH and to understand myself and what I have done to push my wife to where she is today. Us three have very similar traits on how we are handling our problems right now. I am so confident you will benefit from this book, that if you PM me your mailing address I will send you a copy 2nd day.
“Do you want to be RIGHT or want to be LOVED” “You have to have a life to share a life with someone” “When you stop resisting, you start learning”
