2, That quote, took me a long time to really figure out what it meant to me, my life, etc... What does it mean to you? Did it make you think about anything?
Cat,
I have figured it out, but it was not over night. I always knew the arrangement was a problem but I just did not realize how much so. I guess it is hard for me to explain, it's kind of like me saying I knew my W was upset months before she left but not until I started to learn and really reflect on how she felt did I understand just how hurt she was. This is what brought such shame and guilt and why I felt so much despair. It was not the fact that she left, all that did was wake me up and forced me to look in the mirror, it was the fact that this woman that I loved with all my heart was hurt and I caused it. I understood the pain, I understood the hurt, I understood how she felt and when you hurt someone so much you want to do anything and everything to correct it. That is why I began the walk of shame and self reflection.
She read that quote to me 3 times to make sure I understood it. That was last week.
