Tad, It can get exhausting, I understand that one completely.
Amazing how we need time and space from someone that ditched us and eating their dust as they tear down the road huh? LOL.
But I really understand, I've felt very smothered by XH, even though he's not here, it still feels like he fills every space in my life in one way or another at times.
If it's not the girls cell phones going off, even sometimes mine, then the kids are talking about him. If the kids aren't talking about him then family is talking about him.
At any rate Tad... How are you coming along in the most important relationship of all? With yourself? How is that going?
That's what Im working on. For me tad, once I started seeing the co dependency issues within myself, many other things started to unfold as to WHY I kept hanging on to a very unhealthy and abusive marriage.
Some things I was very co dependent on, and some others I wasn't. Co dependency is loving so much, it starts to hurt ourselves.
There is some stuff online by Melanie Tonia Evans. She specializes in recovery from narcissistic abuse relationships. Look her up and check her website and let me know what you think. Tons of reading material and so very helpful and healing.
