Episode 3 - The Divorce Awakens

[SH_]

qt,

Much thinking you have here.
Thinking is good, but be cautious that you do not cross over into rumination.
When with your children, a positive way to enjoy sincere joy is to stay focused on them and their feelings. Genuine service to others will provide genuine peace and happiness. Then they won't see through as there will be nothing to see through. Ya feel me here?
The thoughts of what others think are a real challenge. The work is to minimize concern for their thoughts.
2 reasons.
People are typically selfish and do not really spend much time thinking of you at all, so worrying about what they are thinking, is mostly your own projection of thoughts.
Second, the only folks that should matter to you as to what they think, are the ones that support and love you.

I know that my feedback will sink in at the right moment, so I encourage you to re read it when you are in a moment of peace and calm.

The pain and loss is real.
You are a good person.
You know that there is much work to do to heal.
You have made progress.
You will come out on the other end, stronger and more wise, with scars,but you will stand tall and proud again.
Not simple platitudes that I share here.
Only universal truths if you choose to push forward.

I'm here supporting you and I strongly believe that both of us will get off of this battlefield and we will return stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled my friend.

We are already in hell, so we might as well keep walking forward.
