MrBond,
Caught some of your posts in MLC and read through your sitch. Just wanted to say you have definitely come a long way and sounds like you are headed in the right direction just not moving as fast as you would like it to move. I experience the same thing, my W makes some positive steps and then gets stuck and/or takes a step back....frustrating as hell.

I too had an issue with enabling on the part of my MIL. I wanted to say something but chose not to and the feeling passes and I get over it. While frustrating I find that most things my W does that "I choose to get pissed at" end up being minor in hindsight and I regret having said anything at all because it is usually a step in the wrong direction. Something I am conquering at this point.

After reading your thread I have got to say you have this much "time in" on your sitch that you don't want to get impatient now. Try reading back through your old threads and you will see how far you have come, that's an outsider's perspective looking in FWIW. Hang in there, keep it up!

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
