Help, it seems my 35 year old wife is in MLC #13

Imageer, dude....that's NOT a rant. That's truth. Truth screams out while lies whisper.

We rant when we decry our X's for their behavior, and then enable it at the next step.

Your first instinct is to help. Rightly so! You still love her, so you would like to "help" her in her employment pursuits.

Clearly, you also know that her MLC has had an impact on her employability that is beyond your power to affect.

Sadly, at this point, you probably realize that trying to help her succeed in those efforts would also only prolong her "problems."

You have a good handle on the difference between "loving" and "enabling."


Man, I wish I had that insight 4 years ago. (jealous-funny-sort of.)


Best to you, your kids, and your W this Christmas.

I LOVE reading about HOPE.

Keep on keepin on.


Punkt.


BTW....

It's actually to the point where S9's teacher told us that she is getting a divorce because she sees how well W and I get along and figures that it will all be ok. (That really pissed me of)

OK, that doesn't count as a "RANT' either b/c WTF?

A teacher even?

Are we few, we happy few, we band of brothers,

Are we the only ones who are looking out for these little guys?




GRRRRHHH
