Wild Horses (couldn't drag me away)

[ForeverYoung]

Hey, thanks for the kind words of support, Thumpered. I actually feel we're both doing as well as can not be expected. (No expectations!) lol

Great points T2. I figure as long as she's still here, I can't be that bad of an option, and she must not be convinced that she should bail. Now to go hug W!

Your statement about rewriting is discouraging "The thing is, this rewritten history is reality for our spouses. We have to work from there." Won't our spouses realize this rewritten marital history is not true eventually?

Linda, it's all about their perspective. Our spouses are seeing the past through the glasses they are wearing now. Their perspective has changed, and it can change again. Remember also that the vets tell us MLC'ers often do not even remember some of their cruel comments to us. Kinda like how they can't remember the great times of the past right now, I'd guess!

I assumed he'd realize they aren't true when he "wakes up."

Any wake up, if there is one, will be a slow gradual process, not a snap of the fingers and they're back in Kansas.

I don't consider any of this discouraging, as much as just accepting what is.
