The slow walk home 3

[Becca1975]

I think this is awesome. I can kind of put myself into your W's way of thinking, re: a business. She wants to own a business. She doesn't have the self confidence to think she can do it on her own. OM offered her a way. She got all excited because it was a way to make the dream come true. Then you offered her a BETTER way. Now who is making her dream come true? With your help, she can do it on her OWN and there is no way in heck she would want to have someone else (him) helping her if she can be convinced she can do it on her own, without him. He is nothing but a means to her. A way to make her dream come true. Once you take that away from him, he is powerless. Get her all kinds of excited about the new business and she is yours. Support her however you can, don't try to run it for her, let her make her own business mistakes. Make suggestions of course, but leave the control to her and back off pleasantly if she does not take your advice. It is a learning process.

Good work!
