I just run into one of JJ's posts in the Divorce Remedy Book Club.
Quote: How would you see the situation you're in from an outsider's point of view? What if you were a third-party looking at the events that are going on in your life? How might you see things differently?
If you were to read your story on the board like it was someone else's thread, what would you post to yourself? What advice would you give to you? How well would you take that advice?!
I feel I am becoming obsessed with what is wrong in my life and overlook what is right. I have misplaced the ability to look at myself with a newcomer's eyes and it is making me go down cheeseless tunnels. So I've decided to ask for the 2 x 4's (no, Shiny, I am not a masochist) .
I am not going to vent here today. Not even post in this thread today. But I have a question for you all, ladies and gentlemen. I am not looking for reassurance (though I will appreciate it if it comes my way ) but for an unbiased, detached and sincere evaluation IYHOs. Appreciate your answers, whatever they may be:
How do you see my sitch? (and I am NOT asking do I have any hope?)
