So, what are you willing to do to save your M? Without naming your W & D, what are the three most important things in your life?
Okay, you answered three things you want:
#1 Peace - That's a good answer. Don't know your age but usually an older person or someone who has been through a lot of crisis says they want peace in their life. Sometimes peace comes at a high price, but I'm sure you realize that. Sometimes our choice to exclude the drama in our lives depends upon our choices and not what others decide. So when making small or big choices....think of this #1 goal.
I do have a question about how important peace is to you. In the past, have you more or less let your W have her way about things b/c it was easier.....and it kept the peace?
#2 Keep your Home - By what you said, I assume you mean the house you have right now. I moved around a lot when I was growing up, so I also identify with what you say. However, don't confuse a home with a house. Could you afford this house without her help?
#3 Zest for Life - Almost evvry person on this board, and the doctors will tell you to get on a exercise program that has a lot of movement like playing ball, running, swimming, etc. Eating a good nutritional diet and sleeping well is criticial. Keeping a good PMA is really the best thing of all. All of these things determine a zesty life or not.
So, you can control most of this, right?
I believe if you made yourself some daily steps to accomplish these three things, you would begin to see results in these areas.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
