I do feel slightly more empowered than before, but have yet to see these actions resulting in any tangible improvements to our sitch? Am I not giving this enough time, or is there something else I should be doing? Also, this is a 180 for me, as in the past, I was the pursuer, so backing off has been a big adjustment for me that has been pretty hard but is getting easier over time.
As you learn to be patient in the process, you are likely to be reminded over and over and over and over and... this is not a quick fix. There are no known quick fixes for M breakdowns. It is a lot of hard work, will take time, and will challenge you in ways you didn't know you had the constitution to survive.
This will likely take not mere months, but measured in at least 1/2 years. You may see changes within a week or two of any specific change you make. So doing to many things at a time is likely to skew results in the same way that changing things up too fast will show no results. Time + consistency = results in this equation. When you see positive changes, keep doing what you are doing. If you see negative changes, stop doing what you are doing and do something different.
