Are there any success stories here?

I can't say that I have any success to report obviously. But what I can say is, what else is there?

I know it took about a week for my copy of DR to arrive after my counselor told me about it (which happened the same day as the bomb). In that week I did lots of standard responses and I also know they drove my w further away every day.

What I can say is that since really working on DB strategies I have seen the following:
- my w and I talk. We're still on a path to a bad end, but that path is far less antagonistic and cold than it was.
- my r with my kids is dramatically better.
- I am having more fun in my life.
- I am getting my needs met more often because I feel empowered to ask for them to be met.
In the end will this save my M? No clue. Is there any other option? Not that I can see.
