Lessons learned at every bend

[optimist]

Even if it's not a big conversation, just mention that you saw an example of what he's talking about, and that you saw it the same way. That will help take away some of his feelings that you're taking sides with your brother.

Great idea, I was wondering how to deal with that conversation.

Babysteps! More olive branches! More signs that he's working on things also! WooooHooooo!!!!

You forgot to add: count your blessings

I used to think that this song by Lee Ann Womack was perfect for our situation:

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted

Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around

I remember your words
And I canat keep from crying
I could never believe
That your kisses were lying
Was there something from the past
Buried in a shallow grave
Did you thing that it was too far gone to save

Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how

Now itas just me and the night
And Iam so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here
For my dearly departed

Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around


I guess he is back and my ring is in his finger...
