Coach and OP--Thanks for your valuable insights and advice.

It is hard to do because she is more attached to the shadow of an illusion than she is her own children and family. I must accept and turn it over to God.

I am going to see my IC today. One of the things, I will discuss the issue of how to drop the rope and focus energy on something positive(Or in IC speak, how to cope with depression of spouse?).

It is intersting that she has gone from 'I want a divorce now' to 'I want a seperation at some point in the future'. I think this change is the result of busting the A and detatchment.

By the way, how do you guys think I did in the argument I had with her and my recovery? Coach, I have beeen working really hard on letting go of my negative emotions. I fumbled, but recovered.
