I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, WBW, and that you got to see your H for at least few minutes yesterday. I've been catching up on all my friends' threads, and it seems like the holidays are as hard on our MLCers are they are on us. Of course, we can clearly see the solution and they cannot LOL!
Busting is right, we need to keep reminding ourselves that this is not about us at all. That is a great quote "I spent too many years being a spectator in my own life putting my joy on hold while H treated me badly. No more."
Thanks for your encouragement regarding detachment. It's such a struggle, isn't it? But I think I am finally getting it. Not doing it exactly, but understanding detachment. I hope that is the first step.
Bringing this over from my thread "my new mantra will be...I will detach! I will stop expectations, I will live my life."
Me too WBW, me too. Detach, no expectations, STFU. Live with honor and dignity. Whew! But we can do it!
