Jennifer,

One thing though, is that I do believe that H has acknowledged that he has issues. But that's it at this point - he has acknowledged it - has he OWNED it? I don't think so


What do you need to see to make you believe that he has owned it?

Also, think about this for a sec….

He is ashamed…
He is scared
He is starting to realize that he must fix this.

Do you think that is easy?

I can tell you from experience that it is probably the most painful thing that someone can go through…the acknowledgement of the damage that one has caused.

Personally, I see a lot of LBS’s bypassing the work of looking inside and owning their own role in the demise of a M. Why? Same reason….way to painful.

Guess what when you finally do it…and you finally come to grips with your role and him with his role..well then things can get very interesting.

Then…you are both in a healthy place.

"as if things couldn't get any worse...the landlord (for his retail store) came in today and threatened legal action if I don't get caught up with rent." He said to me..."I just can't win...I want to just hide somewhere."


It all falling apart…

All of the happiness that he thought he could find outside of himself is not there…

The consequences are killing him

So….

What are YOU to do?

Can you be a light and not let him drag you down.

Can you love even when he may not be able to love you back….at least right now

Can you be a friend

Can you carry the torch for the M….just a little longer…

I made lasagna tonight for the kids.

I had a bowl of frosted flakes…..

Just because I like to torture myself….can you PLEASEEEEE tell me you used homemade sauce…please…pretty please….

Keep the focus on you right now Jennifer….

God Bless,
Eric
