I caution you to not fall into that trap or be so incredibly upset with him (about what you think is going on, b/c honestly you don't know what is happening right now) that you can never reconcile.

I know you really want a long healthy relationship with you family in one piece. Do what works to get it. The challenge will be navigating those waters to find it.


I guess I'm confused about that first part a bit. I get not falling into a trap or being so upset because I think "I know" what is going on...but he dropped the bomb and shows no signs of making any effort or internal changes.

I do really want a loving, healthy relationship with my family in one piece, that I do know. I just am not sure what works or if anything will work...sometimes it just doesn't matter how many changes or how awesome a person becomes : ) the other person may never look back...sad but true.

I have the house to myself for few hours tonight...a rare occurrence lately. I tried to get a coaching session but it was last minute and my coach wasn't available.

I have been doing very well with my healthy eating! Proud of myself, hopefully I will start to feel my clothes fitting better soon.

I may be back a little later, I am going to get a little exercise in (my car is in the shop so I couldn't go run the trail tonight.)
