Could it be that I have already overcome most of the damage done by my MLC and that's why I am back at what I feel is square one...this is a hypothetical question by the way.
Alot of ground HAS been gained. We HAVE come through a lot. We HAVE had some beautiful interactions. To be right back here facing this beast makes it seem like I've gone nowhere but what if I'm right back here because I have been through all the rest already?
Instead of looking at this like the straw that's about to break this camel's back, I might try looking at it like I'm finally back in the appropriate position to fight what I should have been fighting before my MLC.
I'm looking into Al-Anon and I'm getting myself that counselor, too. And my Pastor. Because we might not be able to counsel a demon but we can damn well bind one. I just can't do it alone...
