Random thoughts that I am typing out. Sometimes typing them out increases my ability to focus on other things….

- Going to see therapist recommended by pastor. Sched for 07/03 (earliest appt he had) and @ some level I think I am looking at this as a last ditch effort for someone to help me understand why/how to keep hanging on. It was interesting after a 10-15 min intro/background phone conversation he indicated that he believes W is like a little girl who is growing up and “growing against me”. Maybe even views me in some ways as a father type figure…… He said in the interim try to stay focused on - When she says or does things that are hurtful, try to see her and not the actions

- What has happened over past 3 years or so I think in some ways has made me stronger and realize that I could get along without her. Not that I want that but certainly could make it….

- Is it wrong to say to your S that you want to be in a loving, engaging and meaningful R? Of course the answer is not at all, just not when they are WAS because it would likely be viewed as pressure.

Labug and CES, will come back after lunch and respond to your posts. Thanks for your interest.
