First, it is great to hear from you. I was just wondering about you the other day and here you are.

Quote:
The other thing I realised is that almost everything my husband is currently doing is a reaction to me. Now I have largely dropped the rope I can watch his antics with [mostly] amused disbelief. But of course I have taken back the power. I am NOT reacting to him, and I can now see that his actions are directly reactive to my existence! Every mean and provocative act. But I realise he doesn’t hate me, although it looks like it. He just cannot get me out of his head. Poor guy.


I have been told the very same thing about my H lately. He acts as if he has lost his mind. He just keeps upping the ante trying to get the response he used to get from me. I think it makes him feel terribly uncomfortable not to get any reaction from me.


Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
