Old dog seeks new trick 7

[gan]

Hi Old Dog, I'm happy to see that Vanilla has posted a lovely message to you. V used much kinder words than I, but I think they were coming from the same caring place. We all want to see you break through to the other side of this difficult situation.

I continued to think about your situation at my yoga workshop just now. It occurs to me that there is a bit of a cycle (I'm sure you recognise this). You head to the apt on Sunday, chat with your roommates there, gather stength during the week. By the end of the week you are reasonably upbeat, feel like you can continue to muddle through, keen to GAL. You return home, barely interact with W, get depressed and angry over the weekend, think about moving out, then head to the apt on Sunday...

It's kind of like you are living with both an in-house separation and a full physical separation and I wonder if it is messing with you. There's not enough time for you to get your groove on with either situation and so you bounce between. And I think the strategies are quite different.

Is there some way you can break this cycle - even just temporarily - to give yourself a bit of a break and have some sustained PMA?
