I have some errands to run...but want very much to respond to your post. None of what he said surprised me...in fact I think much of it is what I have said to you in the past. And it was beautifully said.
I want to add to Angelica's comment about archiving this. We've got the resources thread...basically a mish mash. Then Smruf started Reconciliation Pearls. It would be nice to also have a thread from MLCers...Advice and Notes from the MLCer...those at this point of realization and beyond.
Because some of this is what I tell LBSs in the beginning...but the horse's mouth is much more believable. I only 'know' this stuff from feeling it intuitively...we all need to hear from direct experience. Happy_Again's three threads from March could go in such a file. And then little anecdotes...was it CNMN who posted her husband gave her the key...stop trying to fix us and you will get what you want... So Smurf...if you are reading...
I have my errands, then I want to post to CNMN [sp]. I also have a bunch of lunches to make for work lunches...and I need to do dedicate time to my writing/reading--research. So I may or may not get back today--I sense my post will be long and take time.
