Staying present in my life

[Sophie]

Hi Frank...you don't know me...but, I've been here all along...and these words from Amy C. describe my H at this time...H has been out of the house for 3 Christmas...and each year I ignore him and take care of it myself.. and I think Amy C's insight is exactly what my H goes through...just change 'she' to 'he'

(Thanks, Amy c...you've reminded me of my own insights from the past... last year at this time. I'm so wrapped up in other junk, that I forgot.)

She's on her pity pot.

And she damn well knows you will handle the MAJORITY of Christmas.

As always.

And she will seethe over it inside, though she may not recognize the emotion for what it is at the time - the feeling of worthlessness. More than likely she will react angrily towards YOU. That's the nature of the beast. For a season.

One of the huge factors that caused my H to get into the MLC pit...or whatever it is...is his feelings of worthlessness...

Sorry, Frank., I know I'm not contributing much...other than our stories are alike...it seems I have few years on you...MLC wise, that is
