A BETTER FRAME OF MIND??????

[MAL]

And when she says she's going out? Pull together the best "act as if" you can, and tell her how great that would be for her to have some fun. Every time she does something that is not time with you, whether she is with friends or not, support her.

I know that will be hard for you, but you can do that. Heck, you're still there aren't you??

You give her that happy reply a few times, and I think she'll notice.

Even if you try to hide it, I bet she picks up on your every reaction to what she does. Can you hide them and see what happens?

Like we've discussed before, your goal here is to break the pattern. We can't control other people, but we can control ourselves.

I may not be in the same sitch as you, but I have dealt with what you are facing right now. It's not much fun, and it takes a lot of courage and strength to walk that line. {{{jstx}}}
