In the kitchen I notice there's a large, empty wine bottle in the fridge, and a wine glass drying in the drying rack. Unsure why W is drinking every evening and keeping such weird hours.
lt0402 - I think that one thing that most of us lose sight of is that our W are not necessarily the rational beings we used to know. They are on their own journey that has it's own struggles. In some fashion especially for those on the MLC road from what I've read it's an incredibly bumpy, painful ride through the fog with no real destination in sight.
She may well be more scared than you are. You're putting a plan together, you're getting more confident on your own journey and you have the fine people here to support you. She's got the fire-starter brigade, OM and a bottle of wine as her guides.
Think of that the next time that she seems evil or thoughtless but know that it's a journey she has to take on her own. Your paths may cross in the fog or when you both emerge from the fog you may be in different places.
Thanks AP, that's helpful on the compassion front. I'd been finding myself sliding into a place where there was some vitriol for the W recently.
It is amazing when you take a step back and think about how constructive our journey has become vs. how destructive theirs still is. Quite a stark contrast in the scheme of things. It's sad that they still want to try to pull us into the destruction and mayhem they are experiencing. I'm getting better at being pulled into that world and really find myself feeling a ton better for it. Still hard at times though.
AP, appreciate you as always brother! Really helped me get in a better mood just now!
