Thanks for the clarification Puppy... knew I could count on you. smile
I am not sure how serious he is about the "deluded" question. I have looked at that book in the book store before. I think it will be good for me to read, and I can always suggest it.

The sense I get is that he intellecutally is realizing the possibility of this "delusion" and even the "addictive" nature of A r's. We also discussed that. But, of course he still has "feelings" for her and "that just doesn't go away".

I am going to give some space now after that talk, cont. GALing, 180's etc. and maybe pick up that book and see where that goes.
