Thanks, Amy. I think I was/am getting to wee what Was2sad is saying, thougth he really tied it all up in a package. I've read it three times, so far, but I am not done with it! I had already decided that I liked the bedroom clean (ok, maybe not as clean as she would, but way better than it was), so I am going to keep it that way. In a way, living without depending on her shouldn't be that hard, she has been living as though she doen't depend on me, I just need to do the same. I can see that the chances for success are not really very good, I've realized that since reading a lot of the non-MLC WAW stuff. Plus, it really isn't her nature to admit being wrong, or to change direction. Often it serves her well. This time it may serve here, but not me. But, that's just the way it is. I do think the time where she will have to decide is coming, at least I may be able to determine when that is. That might keep it from being totally devastating!
Amy, you are sounding better every day. I'm glad I posted the link to your thread the other day!
You know, one thing that this place has done for me? I know that I can be useful. I know without any doubt that I have been able to help several people here get through (or at least work on getting through) some really tough times. I may not keep the cleanest house, but there are things I can do pretty well. It feels good to know that.
