Tad, yes we do go through the same things. Doing good one moment and then down the next. Picture a sine wave. Right now very close together. Lots of static. Over time it lengthens. Or maybe ocean waves helps more. The waves in the surf are very harsh and when you are in them they can be very tumultuous and confusing. Tumbling and tumbling and .....

I still get them but not as long and not nearly as devastating.

Learn to surf my friend. smile

Glad you got out out. Do that more often.

As for the charity? Isn't that what it's for? Wouldn't you do the same if the situation were different?

My therapist once mentioned something to me. She said that wife and I are in different places in the relationship. I think that may apply with you as well.

And the statement about the wife you knew that wouldn't do this stuff? That's very true Tad. I think that's a fact.

Take the focus off of her and put it on you.

Have you kept that list of the good things in your life? How is that coming? There are a lot of great things in your life Tad. A lot more to come that you can't yet see, but are coming just the same.

Change your focus to the good things and see how life looks then. It's a good life and you will start to see that when you look for it.
