Quote:
as she put it, "Be in control of every part of my life" simply because she wanted to prove she could do it.


Almost verbatim what my W said....and once I "got it" and backed off and learned the ancient art of STFU, let her run run with whatever and just worried about the kids, MY life got tons better.

For me, the key was to learn how to not judge, get all the pre-loaded society programs out of MY head and let God work on her.

And rein in my ego so understanding, compassion and forgiveness could heal me.


In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus

Uncertainty is the very condition which impels people to unfold their powers.-Eric Fromm
