Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Greek]

But, and this is my original point, when the WAS says things like "you will never change," this seems to me to be emotionally based. Likely the result of a long time of frustration (valid or not). And it would seem it is common, some may say in the majority of cases, that the WAS refuses to acknowledge, accept or trust that those changes are for real while, at the same time, rush out the door. I understand the hesitancy not to trust the LBS, but I don't understand instances where the WAS is in a hurry to move to D.

L. S. U. OK, got that out of the way (GIMA)

WAS and "you will never change." Yep, we say it. I said it. And I thought I was right. So what is that? Well, we, like the LBS, suffer from a bit of hopelessness. Remember that WAS has been turning this dirt over in his/her mind a bit longer than the LBS is aware of. A mistake we WAS make is that b/c our awareness is so keen that the M is in deep trouble, we assume the STBLBS knows it, too. And on some level, the LBS MUST! But the WAS is mobilized and if there is OP - motivated.

But yeah - saying someone will never change is in error. I thought it about Coach. That is why, when I saw
C H A N G E .... it stopped me in my tracks. It took awhile to believe it, trust it, and now I'm working on depending on it. But it's a big deal for a WAS to accept that the change CAN happen, and IS happening.
