Micheles quote ***************************************************** Working on your marriage means focusing on people’s strengths and downplaying their shortcomings. ***************************************************** Resentment does the opposite! Quote.
I've been reading and reading old wise threads. The answers are sure tucked in here. I am very guilty of resenting my S, the A and the destruction of my family, and dream. I am also guilty of not accepting my part in tolerating the life that created the sitch. My responsibility in ignoring our M.
The same post as the quote has info which nails me for "thots of justification for my feelings" which is like "not working on my M" catagory. I take it to mean I'm so busy justifying I'm not taking positive steps, just being in pain or limbo re: sitch. I'm doing both.
So, my goals continue with one new one. The negative attitude and judgements are over and I will thot stop these. In place will be the consistent decision that "I am going to work on my M" (old thot was I think I'm gonna give it up)
This is gonna be a fun holiday. A new family celebration of fun times together. Happy Easter. Thanks to the DBers of the past and the posts that encourage and support
