It's funny how I kept reading, posting, and thinking I was getting it but I wasn't really. Don't get me wrong, I was showing signs of improvement but they weren't for the right reasons. Up until last few weeks I was doing things with goal of saving M. Now I'm really looking at myself and doing things because I want to, for me. Don't get me wrong, I still want to R my M but it's no longer driving my actions.
Seems like you and I are very much on the same page as this is the exact attitude I have had since Christmas. Once I changed the focus changes at home in general began occurring much quicker. I can't say for sure if anything has truly changed the M sitch, but, everybody in the house is getting along better and actually being more positive about the future.
