Giving my sitch to God

[RBinBR]

W and I spent last night with each other and talked together for about 4 hours.

It truly appears the A is dead, because OM doesn't want to take W back and W is more and more convinced that she did the right thing by breaking up with him.

I found out that W actually saw OM last week, and he would barely talk to her. He now believes that she will never completely leave me. He appears to have been genuinely scared by her episode of bipolar mania, and he now recognizes that it would be very difficult to care for her. Additionally, OM believes that she might return to me every time she gets sick. So, he seems to be giving up on her.

not_giving_up, all I can tell you to do is to be kind, strong and (especially) patient. There were so many times that I thought the A was just about over (and in retrospect, so did my W). It was so easy to get depressed every time a break with OM was healed. Waiting the A out may be the most difficult task of your life, and there is no guarantee that you will be successful, but it's worth the effort for its own sake.
