AJ, I'm doing well, but have really been feeling my age lately.
Eric, as for me showing anger the last time I saw her, I felt like I failed because I feel like showing anger just convinces her more. Showing it doesn't do anybody any good anyways.
To answer Eric's and 25's questions:
Quote:
1) what would "being done" with her, (i.e., letting go) look like to you?
Not giving a damn what she's doing or how she is doing. Letting all of her actions just roll off my back.
Quote:
2) If you stopped attaching your present day happiness to HER choices, (past/present or future), what's the worst that could happen?
I'm not sure...I guess I could find happiness on my own.

3) What do you truly believe your sons are learning from you, as you are now?
They may think I'm weak. They probably assume I need to have her in order to be happy.
I'm currently looking for another job and I may have one. I'll know later this week. The work from home job was nice but, I wasn't getting many hours and I really need to get out of the house.
I've been really sick this week. I'm not sure what it is, but it is a doozy.
As of today, I am on food stamps.
