I had to read your post several times. I must say probably is the most inspirational post I have read in quite some time, especially the two parts concerning childhood damage and dismissing the H's perspective.
I spent far too long missing those two points that I may have irreparably damaged my on marriage's future. How I wish I had my eyes opened so long ago.
Right there with you on learning to detach. One minute I think I am doing really good, and the other it comes crashing down.
I second your point on the people on here. They really have helped me more than they will ever know. And yes, there are some who I wouldn't mind meeting if just to say hello.
You have really helped me in so many ways, Pho!
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
