I am not bitter, so much as disappointed. Disappointed she quit and did not try; everything was repairable, but her mind was set. Decisions a long time coming without me.
And yes, it is about making positive changes for yourself. I know there are aspects I need to work on and be more assertive in doing so. The irony of course as we all recognize, is I know so much more about the dynamic now. There is a part of all of us who would like another chance. A chance to be better partners; to reach that 5th stage.
I know I am lucky to have three amazing children and my life and slowly it goes on, but there are still days when I wonder . . .
