UD,

Hey, I've noticed that "I'm doing soo much better than you" 'tude from her when I'm feeling low. And I do see the struggle to one-up me with the PMA if I'm riding high. Your excellent view on PMA has helped me to take a different view of W's behavior in the past week and currently. It's as if the WAS doesn't get that this R is not a zero sum game. That both people can 'win' with high PMA and feeling fed. That competition does not work.

I agree that forgiving the WAS for the hurt caused our child(ren) is hardest. My realization on this, tho, is that as long as I love myself well, and consequently have solid PMA, I can keep S5 'fed' by enveloping his young life with my stability and my great love for him.

I'm working hard at pushing my PMA to the max. Just need to figure out this sleep issue. I was running on an outdoor track late at night to exhaust myself in the winter/spring, but at this time of year, I'll need to be faster than the mosquitoes.

You have been become a brilliant DBer in your third year, UD.

Take care,

Gabriel
