My Fears in GALing

[newman7977]

Galbaby, cool I will take a look at these books, I hope they're available electronically. Yes I've read 5LL and also gave W to read over a month ago. Although she was receptive to it, she said it was things already obvious. O well that was her opinion, at least it's in her system now.

Glad to hear the environment with your H is good and he seem to be responding well. Is there a great difference how to treat MLC as suppose to WAS? I think I'll need to venture in the MLC forum too. Before reading on the WAS syndrome, I had thought my W was an MLC.

Yep to me too I think the 180s are the ones that are changing the dynamics of my interactions with W, especially with the kids. Seemed I released a lot of pressure from her helping more on the kids. Especially s13 who's been really been tough, he needs a lot of push to do his homework. I took on that this year 100%, I mean I helped before but nothing like the time I've put lately since my 180.

I like what you said about sacrificing the validation and compliments. There are moments during the days where I feel down and ask myself if this is all worth it, but then I remember all the positives and I pick myself back up.
