The Deal With The Devil

[Jeanette1120]

Because at some point, Jack, you need to be realistic.
They don't all come back like your wife did.

(((Hope)))

We've been here a long time huh? I remember you moving and how afraid you were, and getting puppy I remember how every obstacle you overcame. Everything you did, you did with dignity, grace and endurance.

What is being realistic? Your name is HopeFloats, and it does. Are you going to give up your hope, or are you going to take what he has told you, and give it back to him with understanding. To me what he said DOES sound like another stall tactic. He's trying to find a way to justify the damage he has done to you, your marriage and himself. So maybe he is starting to come out of it, but as anyone would be....perhaps he's afraid to really say what needs to be said, and a little more patience from you is all that is needed. He sounds like he is very unhappy with himself. All you can do now, is just be....be there if he needs you, be there to listen, be still.

He has a ways to go Hope......and until I see you change your name to I'm REALISTICit's OVER, I'll continue to stand beside you.
