You never cease to amaze me with your words and the love that is in your heart. ((((hugs)))).
Drew,
I do want to say that I agree with Amy about your girlfriend. It sounds like she was already pretty detatched from other people and eventually, that stuff does need to express itself.
Please look at things you could have done differently,not as a way to blame yourself but as a way to improve yourself.
The projection hurts. Jack says to learn to be a duck and let it roll off of your back. He is right. Otherwise it will do more damage to you and you will have a harder road to walk.
Learn about MLC as a way to understand what is happening, as a way to help you make the choices you will need to make as this continues. But I too will caution you to not make it your only focus because then the mirror is always turned to her.
In does need to be on you. The only way to do it is through it.
Peace.
PS, what's my tab?
