I found looking at the stages was helpful when I looked back on them.

You never are aware you are going through a stage when you are doing it.

Only when you have been through it can you see

AHA!

That was denial! That stage sVcked I can't deny.

I always paid very close attention to my pain.

Whatever was causing it I killed it.

Thoughts about W? Just stopped it.

What caused that? Talking to her. Learning about what she was doing...

Cure? Detachment. Didn't want to know what or where she was. Stopped snooping. Stopped wacthing FB I actually deleted my FB account.

Then came the pain of seeing a man in the mirror that I didn't like. A man I didn't respect.

I found what I didn't like and killed it.

I changed.

I changed because I recognized there was no one but me responsible for my pain.

I placed boundaries for my W so her choices would not make me feel pain or reflect on my own self worth.

So

What can you do to set yourself on that path?

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
