Glad to hear you are doing well and I so appreciated your "rant". I've done that a hundred times either to the wall, a friend of mine, and on this board. Great way to vent the frustration.
Quote: I can only save one of us right now. If I save ME, perhaps there will be others in my life who I will have the privilege to inspire, and teach. Perhaps W will be inspired or see what she has lost. Perhaps I will do 'great things' with my life.
I still see you with the upperhand overall. Our WAW's will naturally vacillate as they find their way - and yes it's frustrating. You know, for what it is worth, I love how Gray describes our Venus counterparts as a wave - rising and crashing. As we start to recognize the oscillation we start to see and understand more - and are better equipped (for *OURSELVES*) to deal with it. Tough thing for us Type A's (Driver types) to not be able to use data and problem solving techniques to fix these things. Until we distance and say "that's a problem I'm not going to try and fix", we cannot be liberated.
Lastly, I loved:

Exactly. Lifting someone up, usually means your underneath them which means they will likely fall on you when you cannot carry them anymore. Not good. I'd rather be in a position of reaching a hand down into the well and pull "UP" - but know that I can let go if it becomes too much. Of course that means someone might fall back into the well. Now that's sick...
You're the man. Hang in. Sounds like you found your center again....

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
