I can be the lighthouse but not the tugboat

[daring]

Thanks FY- I needed the " feel it but then step back and look at it" reminder. I just think I lose my rational approach when it comes to issues with the kids. And this is really the first time that there has ben more time and space separation between H and I and the kids and I.

I know he needs to do this- he will never be whole and we will not even have an option for a new M if he doesn't gonpn this journey.
I just feel like I was doing really well and all of the sudden I'm a mess!!

I do have to say that he is trying- he texted me later a picture of a new potato peeler and said " peace offering?"
I had made soup over the weekend and didn't have one so I was peeling potatoes with a paring knife. I'm pretty impressed- he actually tried to think of something that would be helpful to me. My LL is acts of service and quality time pretty equally. He's doing the AOS a lot lately.
Focusing on the positive....
