Writer, yes, it is an up and down rollercoaster, it is up to us most of the time to make it go up. Do you have an IM address? Yahoo?
Wonder, thank you for the words of encouragement, as I'm sure you experience sometimes this journey is hard on the PMA.
My questions regarding C either IC or MC also apply to the WAS and if they even have a desire to go or not. I'm surprised my WAW refuses to go at all to work on our M, at least that was the way she was four months ago. Her reply was only to go and get to where I am feeling now, its too much hard work. Sounds like another excuse to me, considering that they think we will never change. So at this point, it is discouraging she refuses to go.
I meet with her tomorrow, I'm going to see if she wants to go out to dinner, somthing she has always enjoyed doing with me. I am reviewing all of the things she has shared with me in her letter and our last discussion. I am going to review to make sure I will be on the same wavelength as her before meeting with her.
Then when I see her, I'm going to be warm, open, gentle, and kind and be sensitive to what her mindset is at that time and what she really is saying to me. I will of course listen and validate her feelings. Reiterate what she states and monitor her reactions. Wishing for the best.
