So, 25, if I understand correctly, you think that MC is the wrong way to go? It's ironic because I just mentioned to our MC last week that I thought it wasn't working in our case since all it seems to do is validate her feelings of wanting to get out, while relieving her of the guilt of what it will mean to break up her... OUR...family and start over again. I think MCs are best at making things as smooth as possible for separating/divorcing and NOT at finding a solution to very workable problems.

I've also been seeing quite a bit about detaching on this forum, but I can't seem to locate a dedicated thread about tips and hints for detaching. Perhaps it's just implied in the whole DB concept, but I can't recall seeing it all laid out as a process to be followed.

25, I've seen a number of your posts, and I gather from your signature that you successfully busted your D. You sound like a very intelligent, capable person (buttering, buttering) so maybe you could take a look at my thread and give me any feedback you might have? smile. (Or is actively soliciting advice from other forum members frowned uppn? If so, my apologies as a newbie to this BB and a disheartened man fighting an uphill battle.)

Keep a PMA everybody. It's always darkest before the dawn.
