Found your thread. Thought I posted but don't see it so I post again.

I think we all meet that "0300 emotional monster" here. Do you work out? take walks? it will help with the sleeping.

Are you cold or DA? Sometimes people think they are the same. DA allows your W to be herself and you to be yourself without colliding. You have an opinion but keep it to yourself or better yet just let go of it. "Cold" would imply that you don't care what she is going through. I don't think I read that.

And perspective is something very important. The thing about perspective is this: it changes all the time and every person has a different one. It is neither good nor bad. But when dealing with a couple or a family, some clash and those are the ones that we have to modify in some way.

I usually suggest that people refer to the DR book and the M map to get a perspective on where they are in the M and how this crisis fits into it. Then you know what to do and a direction for making changes and knowing what to expect next.

Hope your MC goes well and is helpful. Hope you regain your perspective,and tame that monster.
