Oh you mean the dating other people while your an LBS lesson? Or the divorce them into loving me lesson? Or the I don't need to change, I'm a goshdamn prince/princess they should change lesson?
How about the confrontation lesson? Or the "let them eat cake" lesson? Or maybe the this'll be over by <insert arbitrary date> lesson .....
To be honest, it's that second line of lessons I am struggling with. I'm really just now detaching in a real way, but I have a long way to go.
At least since deciding it may be MLC, I have let go of the deadlines I would set. Thinking of this more of a developmental stage helped with that. Now I think of it about the same way I thought of toilet training. It will be messy, expect setbacks, and it'll be done when its done - all on someone else's timeline. Oh yes, and the harder you try, the longer it takes.
