Quote: I don't know, I feel oddly calmer and stronger now than I have for a while. I'm sort of at the "don't give a damn" point this morning because I'm so tired of listening to H's pissing and moaning. Honestly, I'm thinking of stuff I want to do, and figuring out how to go about doing it, and I don't have the time or energy to absorb his crap right now.
I still try to be warm, loving and accepting, and encouraging, let him know I care and want him, but I'm backed way off, just little pats and cheek pecks, not many ILY's, out the door before he was downstairs, etc.....I just don't have the energy today to live my life and deal with his damn mess as well. It would probably be better for me if I can stay in this spot....don't know if I'll manage or not.
Hello Deb,
I'm thinking that it is looking like you are right where you should be! Stay there for a while...see how it all "fits" for you. I found that this was the only way I survived through all of my H's antics. ...And my own personal growth while in this "state" was (for me) amazing!!
