Oh, that post was a little upbeat given your recent posts. I was responding to an earlier one and missed the recent ones. Sorry to hear you've had a rough 24hrs. One thing I've found interesting in all of this is how my sadness etc comes and goes without any changes in the external circumstances. Which is to say it is all internal and how I'm reacting to things that creates many of my ups and downs.

Part of my plan is to commit to daily mindfulness practice. My IC actually recommended it as a way to address my reactivity. Part of my plan is to learn how to soothe my own anxieties and learn to let others take on that burden for themselves. The longer this goes the more I realise that DB is not just about turning around our sitch. It is about developing skills that we must practice always in order to have good loving relationships.

Anyway, just sharing some ideas knowing that your 180s and reflections on areas you'd like to improve overlap with mine somewhat. Remember to inject a little YOU into your plan, and not just make it about bringing him home.
