Hey, my friends. Thank you for posting. I miss this board. BF, I can't believe your H didn't call you on Mother's Day. But this morning I came across something that was perfectly fitted to this situation. It was in "The Eye of the I" by David Hawkins. His point is that it's useless to expect people to meet our expectations or to do as we would've done, because most people live at lower levels of awareness anyway. Most people live ordinary lives centered on their egos. So what you ought to do is focus on your own behavior. It's stuff we all know, but reading it this AM helped.
Ruby, in regard to your comment, Joe has strong narcissistic tendencies. However, I think he does get that I don't want to see him in the near future. He showed up around 10:00 PM and texted me to say he understood I didn't want to see him and that he would be quiet. He was.
The mail issue is there because he never changed his address (only for the most important things.) I am doing what my coach said, to let him see the consequences of his actions (not getting the mail.) I think he'll eventually do it.
Grace, thank you for your words. It is a tough process. This AM some guy was trying to sell me a cleaning product at the gas station and he asked if I was married. I was instinctively going to answer yes and then stopped myself and said no. First time I've been asked that Q since after the D. Weird.
I'll be around, although it's hard bc of my writing. Must get the manuscript ready for the editor. You guys will really like the final product. I'm also meeting people to help me build a "platform" prior to the book release. Very exciting!
