Just Confronted - A Litttle Confused

[Quicksilver264]

"I am sorry you feel that way" - I said that twice last night, and she said "STOP saying that".

It really is as if an alien took her over. She has kept saying over the weeks "I always put you first, and now for the first time I am going to put me first and do what I need to be happy".


I am sure this will get easier, but right now it is definitely hard to hold it together. My FEELINGS tell me that I want to cling to her, but my head, filled from knowledge here, it telling me to detach.

Funny how our emotions can take control. It is almost like OCD, where I read a great quote from Norman Doidge's book:

"I KNOW that if I don't straighten my house 20 times a day my mother will die a horrible death. I know that. But I FEEL like she will, and I feel it with every fiber of my being..."

I feel like this is the worst thing ever. But this is an opportunity to do things right, and become a better person.
