Kelly Jo The Wifey new thread.

Hi Wifey. Just checking up on your sitch. I can relate to the family not understanding what it is we are trying to do. I've spent hours explaining both sides of my sitch to my SIL and my own sister. They are a bit pissed at my wife and think I am being too soft.

But they are beginning to understand.

I really like the analogy you use about holding back Jello. You're absolutely right, it isn't an attack but rather a withdrawal. I learned years ago that I would fight for someone I love, but I wouldn't fight them.

You can't squeeze love, it would just run through the fingers like water. You can only cup it.

Your family just wants to see you out of pain. Perhaps they will never really understand.

You are standing up for yourself. Standing up for what you think is right regardless of the opinions of those around you. You take care of yourself and make yourself a better person. You detach and do the best you can do. You learn DB and execute it. This is all standing up for yourself in the heat of battle.

Stand tall.

Ken
