Alaska,

I respect your opinion, but it always seems you place ALL THE BLAME on yourself. Didn't your wife have a hand in this?

I accept responsibility for MY failings. What my W does, is between her and God. She had a hand in the failure of our M, but that does'nt make MY failures any less significant.

I can't change her attitude but I can darn sure change mine. You may see it as me taking all the blame, but I assure you, it is a cleansing of the soul. For me to admit MY failures, accept the consequences of MY actions, ask forgiveness, and change the behaivior, is a VERY healthy thing to do. That's a large part of the 12 step Alanon program.

I'm not responsible for my W's failures, only mine. I take them VERY seriously, and trust me, she knows it. That's the main reason we're still together today. I've also found that the more responsibility I take for my failures, the more she takes for hers.

I'm as strong as I've ever been. It's the way, the truth, and the light. Let go the baggage my friend, and walk without burden.

God Bless,

COG
