Hey Eric! I've been watching ... you're having a tough time too ... I guess we all are eh? The kid thing is tough. No sugar coating that.

Hey ... I'm on the alt now too (I think we're friends already?) ... and I've posted a few pics ...

Letting go....

What does it REALLY mean to me?

I'm guessing that my definition will evolve as time goes on and I grow and learn. Right now I'm really focussing on letting go of things I cannot control. That's my biggie. Learning to let go and let God. That's the beast I've been fighting this week and it's been an ugly fight ... but I'll win it. With time. I know I won't win every battle, but the war is mine!

Thank you. You know it never really occured to me to validate that 'second person' inside. I really was trying to overtake her .... but you're right. She needs to be validated and fed too. But here is where the control comes in ... now I have to use it to let the first person dominate.

Re the card: at the very least I am going to get the kids to make him cards ... depending on how I feel that day I may give him the one I bought. It really says what I think of him as a daddy. He's the best.

I'm not a religious person, but I've gone back to that piece of scripture a few times ... we had it read at our wedding (who doesn't??) and I've used it for strength more than once since this rollercoaster took off.

Hope you are having a good weekend!
Peace
PEI
