I'll try to work on myself more, this is hard to not think about how they'd react to our changes though....
Good luck to you Grateful, I hope you'll be able to show W your M still has a chance!
I reflect quite a bit on that, how can she know I've truly changed? What will show her that?
Fact of the matter is she/they can't. When I go inside myself I realise that on the outside everything is the same. I've said I'll change, but I've said that several times before as well. Difference now is, -I- feel the change on the inside. But sadly, we are the only one who can truly know now. I mean, even I have asked myself if I will be able to keep these changes. I guess, like so many have said here, with time maybe they will believe the change they see.
