I think the only thing that has saved me is focusing on work!
I think part of the making plans and backing out is fear. It is fear of facing their mistake. A lot of times, our WAS's know they screwed up, and instead of just biting the bullet and saying they are sorry and messed up, they try to convince themselves that they are doing the right thing.
What is up with that???!!!???
I will tell you that I used by panic every time I knew my H was coming over, but I don't so much anymore. I figure that by relaxing it eases the stress off of both people.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
