In the UK - need help (pt15)

[Huddy]

Homemade pasta bake fresh out of the oven when I walked through the door tonight. Unusually pleasant as well. Guess it's time for the manipulation to start in earnest!

Don't get me wrong, it was lovely and I thanked her for all her efforts, but, in the past, I would have taken that as a sign that she was on her way back. Now, I just take it for what it is, a nice meal that I haven't had to cook after a long day at work.

That, I think is now the biggest difference, in me, that I can see. I'm not needy or pursuing, I'm forging ahead, taking control of the actions that effect me. It's been a long road, so far, and I expect it to get hillier before the end, but, I'm feeling so much stronger that a few months ago.
