The sword and shield analogy is wonderful. Thanks for that.
I'd have to say that SPM may be more swording than shielding right now, but I don't blame him. I understand his situation too well as my boat seems to be in the same lake as his.
Reading the letters from my W's family and the OM filled w/ lies and distorted truths made me want to slash the anger sword. I've cooled off quite a bit and am back to the shield, but the sword can and does come out far to easily.
I'm going to use this analogy to help me try and keep the sword of anger sheathed.
