Ken's situation - Live-in WAW

[steady]

Thank you happysomeday. I know my situation is alot better than many people on this board. I'm trying to stop a downward spiral and am trying very hard to keep the focus directly on myself.

As everyone here knows it's a difficult situation to be in no matter which phase we are in. It seems that detachment is the underlying theme and that's exactly what I'm focusing on now. That and GAL. It seems I have an unhealthy attachment to my wife due to my family life as I was growing up and I'm addressing that through counseling.

The new meds are really helping my mental state and I hold onto hope pretty well.

The fact is I can't control my wife's feelings or the situation - the only thing I can control is myself and make the positive changes needed to make me a better and happier person.

Interacting on this board is a huge step toward making me a better person and the give and take here is phenomenal. I'm glad I find myself here.

Thanks again for the feedback. The reminder that the situation could be much worse always helps.
