Its hard watching our spouses in pain, not knowing how to get themselves in a better place. As much as we'd like to help/guide/suggest, we can't. I think for people like myself, people who "mother" or are caregivers..it's especially hard to let go and watch them fail/falter until they 'get it right'...I think that's one of my life lessons from all of this.
So true! I have seen in the past couple of days the very raw pain my H is dealing with and I feel helpless and my heart aches. But I know it is not mine to fix. And I too am learning that with my kids. Being able to face and deal with the smaller failures and tough kid things when they are younger will help them immensely as adults - help and support but we can't always fix.
You and Grace stating that you are there for the one in a million shot is encouraging for me to hear . . .
