If I can get W to go to C--I'll do it. C told me that she belives she can do a lot with couple IF the couples want to do the work. So if one of us doesn't want to work--we'll know where we stand.
As for going by myself, I have DB Coach Laurie for that. She has done as much for me as anyone else. My Manhattan priest may be returning next month as well--and God gives me a lot of the balance I need to go forward.
W continues to be one angry woman. Today, I feel like she has been acting like one of the top five a$$holes I have ever met in my life. In addition, when I went to redial a number I had called five minutes earlier, OM's # poppoed up onthe phone. So I realize he's still in the picture at some level. Thus, I also recognize that she is hurting so much deep inside--but she just won't let anyone else help--and only on her terms.
On the real down side, when she went on a tirade at the kids just yelling about how bad her life was--S9 made the crazy sign by circling his finger near his temple. I stopped him--but this is where we are at. On a lighter note, when W yelled at D5, D5 parroted W by saying, "Why are you yelling at me; you just want me to be perfect!" I had to really fight not to burst out laughing.
Tonight, my family had a dinner for my grandmother's 100th birthday. W was good for the first half, but kind of politely sulked in the corner for the last hour. My father thanked W for coming (I had told him that I take one day at a time and expected W to come, but could not be sure). As we left, W ripped into me for what my Dad had said, "Obviously, you told him I wasn't coming so everyone thinks I would not come. Thanks a lot"
I'm either a patient DBer or I'm burning a hole in stomach.
