and yet I have come to accept that this is who he is and if he doesn’t change then it is up to me to decide. And that?
Sucks...
It is hard to turn your back on someone you love. Can he grow and be the Man he needs himself to be? I dunno.
Ali,
It is so hard to wait for someone that you love. He is in a crisis right now with the FOO stuff and once he gets through this a light may come on and he may see again. If he doesn't then he may never wake up to see the good things in his life.
I have decided that I won't wait forever either. My wife is always so depressed about things too much to see the wonderful things in her life. We have a beautiful, intelligent daughter who loves us both. She has friends and family and a husband who all love her. So many good things touching her life but she can only see the negatives.
There is no reason to just exist when our lives are meant for truly living. To grow, live and love... That is what we are meant to do.
