Hiya Luke. Nice update. Really happy about where you are at, my friend.
So, I was sitting here for a moment and I was torn. You and I agreed that we speak the truth always. I know at times that truth hit you between the eyes some. I am not sorry for that. LOL!
I've been here a long time. Way longer than my registration date. I have written how I do not post to many people. We all do this in our own way. My way is to stick with a few people as long as they want me rather than post to many for a short time. Both ways serve their purpose.
Not always, but, mostly I post to women ...although some of my best buds from here are men. But there was just something about you...
I was right in what I thought at the beginning. I saw that you would dig in. I saw that you weren't afraid of what you found out about you.
You must realize at this point .. you are like an Oracle to me here. In many ways ... a rock, a lighthouse for me and many here ... a true gift and Godsend as I have said in the past .. I shudder to think where I would be without you and the support of others here.

She is doing some work and that is amazing for all of you. Just want you to be aware that there may be some backslides on her part especially if you move back in.
I know it seemed like she was happy about you organizing stuff...but, go slow there, yea?
She still has a ways to go. Lots of stuff to sort through. She knows you are watching. Also, be careful with your son. He is watching closely, too.
I hope you took that ^^^ in the way it was intended..because I care a great deal.
Please know that I am over here rooting you on.
Completely agree and have been thinking about this quite a bit. Its a strange area, in a way I have to continue to DB, then other times seems she needs reassurance. The push pull dance is still in full effect, with an increase in temp-checks as she sorts things out. I have noticed that the tool box I was so proud to pull out an dfix things previously ... has been expanded and new tools added ... specialty tools, more like diagnostic meters, not actually fixing things, but able to see the issue or problem and perform a minor tweak here and there.
With out this site, the lessons I have learned, the tools I acquired ... I think the A would have ran its course regardless, and W may/may not have wanted to come back to the M ... however I would not have been able to last to this point without the tools I acquired here, let alone make sure that I... yes ME... not W, S , Billy-Bob or Jack ... I would be happy in this new M.
Truth is ... and I have not seen many discuss this in posts. The old M I was in .. even before BD was not all that good. Sure I wanted to save it, not for what it was but for the potential I always dreamed it COULD be. I held onto that idea but never did anything during the M to make it what I wanted, I took it for granted and thought it would just happen. Feels like an old car in the garage, sure with some work that baby could be a show piece, year after year without any effort nor work put into it it was just slowly rusting away ... was not till that car was gone did I realize the hole it left. That hole scared me... but after some time, realizing that it was actually a blessing in disguise I learned rather than chase that car down the street, I cleaned up the garage, made it into a better place that would allow me to work, be more efficient.
