Its tough to face this everyday.
What makes this so hard for you and me is that we make
logical, rational decisions on logical, rational thoughts
with a sprinkling of emotion on the side. MLC'r would not
know logic or rational anything. It is a warped world and
in a way helps us know they have fallen and can't get up.
A friend of mine stated it like this: Your W is in a pitch
black room and can't find the string to pull to turn on the
light. In fact, they don't look for the string at all most days.
They would rather yell and scream at their spouse for putting them in that room first place. I was about to add more graphic humor of what goes on in that room in the mean time but I thought that would be rude, so I won't. It also won't say
much about me taking the high road either and I find I struggle
with that too.
So one day they find the string and they see how much of a mess they made. There, I said it.
Sorry if it is offensive but then I apologize.
I take no credit for it, but it helps to use some humor over beer with a buddy to make some sense out of it all.
