Studies in Feral Cats, part 5

[reachingHigher]

T^2, I LOVE your reaction here:

I just validated and told her I trusted that she would figure things out for herself, and that I trusted that she would let me know if there was something I could do to help.

Thank you for sharing this post and quotes from the email. It is SO encouraging to the rest of us. You are doing great. I'm sure you never pictured the positive changes in yourself that have come from this journey with your W. Yes, I know, we each have our own "journey" ...but there is the one together too. You are an incredibly kind, understanding and patient man. Yet, maintaining the core of masculinity, support and detachment. Nice!

I can't wait till your W wakes up totally.

The male friend I called last week (long time friend of H & I) said "rH, don't put a timeline on it. If it took three years and it was the best thing that ever happened to you, wouldn't you wait? Just roll with it, work on yourself and be there for him."

I think the timelines are good to re-evaluate ourselves and if we want to go on helping our mate. But, when we see steps in healing, we have to be patient and wait and grow and learn. And like you said, T^2, long ago, maybe it's why we were put in our spouse's lives. It helps both of us

Hope you have a great week!
