Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Greek]

But for now, I just listen and understand that she is venting. I do think she is projecting a lot of the pressure that she feels onto me, when I am not really applying that pressure.

Could be projecting. It certainly is frustration - no question.

So who is her counsel? Who does she go to to talk and seek advice from? I would wish there were someone in her circle who would say, "Hey there, it sure sounds like life is hell for you. Time to do some self care and make a move." Which is the equivalent of what I cautioned YOU not to say...but coming from someone else, it might break the dam that's holding her in the miserable spot.

The only thing keeping her from being happy in the life she chose is her (true for all of us). Like I said before, she's trapped herself.

Keep thinking.
