Yes Wendy, maybe I should look at that book again and refresh some issues "little me" has. This probably has every thing to do with me getting so annoyed.
Snodderly, I've heard you mention more than once to posters the wisdom of the older woman that told you about someone in crisis. I've had a words of wisdom from the elderly that I work with daily. I have to say their simple, but spot on honesty just tickles me pink! Because it's so true.
And I do believe what this wise elderly lady said to you. It's all ringing true. Everything seems to be starting to be falling into place in re: MLCer, the affair down, actions, words, etc.
In my heart, my biggest wish, hope, and prayer is that what my XH has become really is an MLC, and that he WILL come out of this, but only for the BETTER. But I fear the Monster that seems to have taken over him is permanent.
I may be done, but I still pray for him. I've let go and given him to God.
When I say Im done, I say Im done with the mind games. The manipulation. The lies. The fighting. The cake eating, and the severe mood swings. Im done with the MLC behavior that XH has been swinging from vine to vine with for years now.
That may require for me to hardly ever speak to him again. It's even hard for me to see his shadow in his truck when he's in the driveway picking up the girls.
But Im not done caring about him as a human being.
Guess I just have to do that from afar.
Sometimes I feel like Im crazy to still pray for him.
But when it's all said and done, someone that does such things as an MLCer needs all the prayer they can get.
