Actions speak louder than words...and you obviously need more than just "I miss you." I think you need to let these words be your HOPE only, not your focus. Ya know, like I hope I win the lottery or my stock portfolio explodes, but realistically, my focus is on doing the right things to support myself and not expecting a miracle.
I have read your response several times today GCM It makes alot of sense to me. Especially this paragraph here. I guess that sometimes hope is all that you have...but do it without expectations.
I have also been doing alot of thinking about the detatching thing. I like someones analogy about dropping the rope. So hard for something that seems like it would be easy when living apart. Detatching that is. Thanks again for your advice. It's sorely needed.
