I agree PON... wish I didn't have to work with him AT ALL!... I will start to design my own exit strategy.
Also, in listening to my Power of Now CD, I am letting go of the hot coal in my hand (visualization), I am burning my hand... knowingly. I am dropping the hot coal. I am also trying to remember to "live in the moment...NOW", not the past and not the future, and keep reminding myself with each negative thought. I bring myself back to NOW, where it is safe.
Thanks to KD... read this on another post... good to remember!
//Healing begins when the LBS is ready. No sooner, no later. And it happens through forgiving.
While we may not say that we "forgive" our spouse for cheating, or leaving the M, or saying hurtful things, we begin to accept those things as simple facts. Through compassion, we understand that our spouses made choices that, while they may appear to us as inappropriate, they were simply choices that the WAS / MLCer made as "the best they knew how, at the time". Understanding that they too, are going through pain, even though we may not understand it. And through that acceptance and compassion, we stop taking it personally... and we can can forgive...
And we heal...
And... by healing... we change the sitch... and... who knows...//
