WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 9

[confusedinpa]

Confused I can so relate to where you're head is at. The best thing is to focus on detaching from her. I know it's one of the most difficult things to do in the position you are in, but it really is the only chance you have.

Did you ever read the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle? The condensed version of it, Practicing the Power of Now and the other book, Stillness Speaks were very helpful for me to keep it in the Now and not project my mind forward or back.

I'll be checking in on you.

Steady,

Thank's for the support and encouragement. My boys give me the drive to keep trying (I know my wife certainly isn't doing anything to give me reason to keep trying, but this forum is the biggest thing that is keeping me from going nuts. I don't feel like her mom or dad is really supporting/pushing her to get us back together. Ironically as they were divorced and her mom waited over 10 years since they seperated before they divorced (she kept thinking he would come back, right up to the point he got engaged to his new wife). My family and friends try to support me but they are all challenging why do I want her back since she's left me and hate to see me go through so much emotional pain.

The people here really make me feel supported, like an extended family. I wouldn't know what to do without them.

Thanks for the suggestion on the book - I thought I had a pretty extensive library but don't have that one. Guess I'm going have to hit amazon tonite.

I appreciate you dropping by and checking up on me to keep me on the path.
