"Where was this therapist when I was still married? I could have saved my marriage if she had someone to get her to look inward sooner. In any event, it is better late than never, right?"
Rob, Looking back at the time history of events there's a lot of "if only" conditions. When I look back the last 5 years I see that at every potential turning point or positive opportunity something else negative became a show stopper. I have read here that "timing" is everything or "time waits for nobody" and thing's along those lines. This is indeed a big unexplained mystery, why in some rare 'sitches' the timing works and in others in does not.
I saw fireproof the week it came out (strangely it made me cry) and I even got the Love Dare workbook. What struck me as most significant is that he had to put his love of God first and then things started to turn around, not before. Sometimes I'm talking to my D12 about something important and she is tuned out or rather tuned in to something else very trivial. Perhaps God needs our undivided attention. Perhaps that explains the "mystery" of timing I allude to above.
I don't know about you but I still cringe at the term "co-parenting" and "my child's mother"!!!
