It is disappointing how "the world" views D and Rs. Early on, before I even got to DB land, I googled how to detach. It *****ed me off that half of the pages redirected at Ss who are thinking of leaving the R - "so to make it easier to BD, detach first". A sorry state of affairs.
I'll be sparking up a new thread one of these days to update my situation status. Hope you can drop by and offer me some pointers. My tale is following yours remarkably so far and your insight is very much appreciated.
You take care to Z.
Where's your new thread Py? Miss having you around.
To all, yeah, that guy was a little preachy at times. I'm not zealously Christian yet I have no problem hearing a spiritual based approach to relationships. To me it's all about what's effective. And everything he said could be translated to non-spiritual content.
Speaking of Christianity- Py, your quote above reminded me that it's believed God loves us so much he'll let us make our own destructive choices. Let's strive to love our WAS's the same way. Unconditional love doesn't mean unconditional availability free of boundaries. But can we not still love them and wish them well on their journey? And can we not still love the world though it fails to meet our hopes?
In fact, as I write this I realize this is just more "the world not meeting expectations". Wow, I am seeing this video everywhere now.
u-turn, I'm still mulling that one. I posted something on losts thread that shows I'm churning...I'm churning...
