Ahh, yes the maps and compass....so that gets us back to that "what makes GGB happy" and purpose in life bit. Gotcha! Right now I am feeling a bit like a kid with the remote control. Gotta push all the buttons to see what each does Anyway, yeah, withdrawing isn't what I really wanted, but like you said, it is a first step. This morning she wasn't in the mood again and kind of stalled until she had to get up (first day of school for S14, who needed a ride to school). Instead of getting down about it or withdrawing, I just felt "Oh well, your loss " and took care of myself. I'm going to try to keep that direction going and to develop a more happy-go-lucky attitude in general (except with S17, where I need to stay firm but loving).
