I love the brick analogy too. It's really helpful. That's a great image and the heaviness of the bricks really fits. It's their burden, but it's so easy to start pulling the load for them.
I found out today that my H withdrew money from his deferred comp, all of it, and took OW on a vacation this summer. Today I pulled the load. Felt it. Tomorrow, I am letting the wagon go. His to carry. He told me today he felt sick about what he had done. Once he gets his recharge with OW tonight, though, it will probably be forgotten.
Pud, I think it's funny how he's telling you everything he is doing. You seem to be handling the situation fabulously. Next time he tells you what he's doing, write it down, like you're keeping notes!! Then, you can go back and read it to him later.
8:42--Mr. Chipperville goes to the bathroom.
Crazy Mr. Chipperville. That's a hoot!!
Kinda like Goodbye Mr. Chips, Only it's "Crazy Mr. Chipperville" I think we have a kid's book here.
Much Love,
Heather
