I've just read Sandi's 37 rules. I have a question. What if you had broken all those rules during the separation? I've been separated for 6 months now. Would it still help to implement them now?
Hjoseph, sorry you are here. Keep posting, tell us more of your story.
Have you read DB or DR? These are critical.
As far as the rules go, if what you have been doing so far hasn't worked, then it can't hurt to try the rules, right?
