I completely understand! Some days it seems like it's hard to come up with your own name! I couldn't agree more that he should be focusing on us and not them. But he's going to have to come to that conclusion himself. I still feel like I'm on delicate ground here.
I'm going to continue on course - being supportive, not putting pressure on him about how much time he's spending. It sucks but as you and everyone else reminds all of us - the only person we can change is ourselves. I have to hope that he will continue to respond to the positive changes I'm making.
I also know I need to be very conscious of how I respond to what he shares so that I don't come across as callous or uncaring towards her situation.
Uhh! Taking my anti-anxiety medicine again to help myself stay as even as I possibly can in this situation.
