Thanks Angela. No worries on posting here. I know, I am good at giving advice to, that I don't follow. But it helps to reinforce it to other people, cuz it will help make it not just a habit, but a real thing for me.
It's so hard because I want to know what's on his mind, so I try to mind read, which I know is a no-no, doesn't help, makes me crazy, etc. My patience has gotten very thin over the last 5 years, more than likely due to all of this cr*p.
I am working on patience. And like the lovely labug said: Focus on now, not the future.
