Hey, Pickle, just catching up. Lost you for a bit.
Faith is right about validating and detaching. Its survival 101 on these boards. It is also a lot harder than it sounds.
Detaching is tough. While you can fake it, it just takes time to really detach. Meditation, prayer, repeating 'let go' over and over... these can help. I really like thought blocking and listening to peaceful music. Running and yoga work good for me too. Focusing on my D3 is really the best though.
Validating is tough to, but remember, it is NOT the same as agreeing with them. A good line I see on here a lot is “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Please say it gently, sarcasm doesn’t work here.
Just wondering about your W’s plan to live together after a divorce…
Since her job requires she be a model of morality, how would living with a man not her husband and dating other men work with that?
The crazy these folks spew never ceases to amaze me…
