PatientMan - 6th Edition - Acting Divorced

[planet]

PatientMan,
I do feel for you. I can empathize in regards of your relationship with your XW, man to man, husband to husband and more importantly your kids. It is truly sad to see WAWs hurting so much and can't seem to find their way.

Sometimes I feel that the LBH needs to completely break away from their WAW no matter how unjustified or how wrong it feels.

After so many years, it is always someone or something that you need to prioritize.
I ask you this. Is it wrong to prioritize yourself?

She seems to be one of those people who thinks times heals all wounds. To anyone reading this who thinks that way, I hate to break it to you, but you're wrong.

Hard work can heal wounds. Acceptance can heal wounds. Neosporin can heal wounds.

But time?

Time is just a force that can be resisted. It is a force that can wear us down so that we come to a place of acceptance. It is a force that can wear us down so that the pain motivates us to do the hard work. But time itself is a force that the stubborn can resist.

Couldn't agree more. Time by itself would not heal 'inner wounds'.
