Had another appointment with my DB coach, Chuck. Told him about what has happened the past week and a half, from my wife breaking the news that she's moving out, not revealing her address, the two big conversations my wife and I had, and the move. I tried to describe to him how and I said/acted in each of those situations. Basically I repeated everything you can read here in this thread since 2/18. Chuck's summarized that I did fairly well as a DBer, but not so hot in a few of those situations. He noticed that when I messed up, I let my emotions rule the roost, especially when it came to setting my boundaries. He told me to make sure my goals are behavior oriented, not feeling oriented.
As an aside, a few minutes ago I picked up a black and white photo that was lying on the floor in the house. It was our son at Chuck-E-Cheese when he was a little under two years old. I couldn't hold back the tears...I miss him already. I'm looking forward to seeing him later at dinner.
