JTB, agreed, but there are gems here from TG and Pickle for me and I suspect many others.
I read this as TG’s thread so I do not think of this as a thread jack.
In my sitch much of the drama projected at me is related from W’s childhood. I share responsibility in creating the environment for it to fester and grow, but I am not responsible for the source. That occurred years before I met W.
This does not alter our present reality. If I was clairvoyant I would have changed the environment years ago and prevented this mess. Looking back much of this was preventable.
I am not clairvoyant, and what if’ing the past further is a waste of my energy.
I can only move myself forward from here. Like TG and Pickle I know there are no guarantees. To put it in the vernacular of this site “I am standing”, but I will not stand still, waiting.
I will move myself forward. I will maintain open mature contact with family and friends. I will work to be a better person for this experience.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
