Thanks for the pick me up. I needed it given my wondering about OM. I just finished my fantasy football draft, which was a blast.
The just not knowing stuff is so hard to deal with, but so true. If we don't have good role models, we can be in for some real trouble later in life. I don't blame everything on my father, but as I've thought about a lot of things this summer my parents' troubled marriage is one that I keep coming back to. I just didn't see a real loving relationship between two adults growing up, and then my mother passed away when I was 14. Dad remarried, but that relationship looks in some ways like a repeat of his marriage to my mother. Finally, though, the lights are coming on and that feels great, no matter what happens to WAW and I.
I'm off tomorrow for a three day retreat on love and intimacy. Never done anything like this before, but that's been a common theme these last three months and it's led me to some surprisingly good places despite the pain caused by WAW. I'm doing this for me, another step on the journey of self-discovery. Take care.
