WAWs or Wayward M: How to SHOW change is afoot?

[DBinSF]

Thanks, Sandi2. I appreciate the thoughtful explanation.

I think all of this is hard to me to accept because I WORK in the persuasion industry. My job is to get people to feel and think things, buy products, & love people (politicians). I do manipulation for a living. So, someone telling me I can't MAKE someone feel something simply doesn't ring true.

But I understand that this is an different situation. I'm not able to do polling and run market tests. It's me and Mrs. And she's had enough of my sh!t.

I think the REAL issue for me is I'm FREAKING OUT and all my control stuff is coming up. I feel like a little animal that's sliding down a greased funnel, and I'm just doing anything I can to hold on to the side, but there's nothing to hold on to, and it's getting tighter and tighter and...

And then it's so tight...I can't breathe. Know what I mean?

Letting go is REALLY hard for us ACOA/Codependent/Marketing professionals.

SOOOOO.... when I feel that way (knowing I SHOULD let go, but knowing I CAN'T just yet), I come on here and try to look for SOME kind of answer. Some hint, some clue, some new marketing message, some relief from the pain of admitting it's really over since I can't do a DARN thing to alleviate her pain at this point.
