It's been a roller coaster for the last few weeks. I think the one year mark of being separated hit me from behind.
W continues to be in a holding pattern. Not moving forward, not moving backwards. Sometimes helpful/cooperative - sometimes the opposite.
Recently had 3 IC sessions and a meeting with my pastor. Bottom line -with nothing to grieve, no progress, etc the new normal is in full swing.
So here goes -
IC says I've done what I can to address "couple" issues on my own. Since W does not want to acknowledge/address that the "dance" of control and avoidance - I can't really introduce new patterns, behaviors, etc.
I really liked 25mlc's term. Make sure the path home is smooth. So I'll scream and vent to others when she makes me crazy. I'll try and take the high ground and be gracious but still clear and consistent.
