Thanks OT and you weren't even posting to me, lol.
Very good stuff as usual. You reminded me of a lot of things you have said to me awhile back about directness and communication. In fact, I even made it a point to put some of that into practice tonight to good results.
Mama, the point is that many times you and I (and most of the rest of us here) try to figure too much out instead of just opening up (hard to do when you feel so betrayed by the person you're opening up to) and being direct about how we feel and what we want.
It really is that simple and it removes all the games from the equation and VERY quickly lets us see where things stand.
The problem is that actually being direct leads to them possibly being direct and honest with us and that scares us more than a bit because we are sometimes so sure there is a horrible truth under the surface.
Well, it's better to know that today than 6 months from now.
Big talk from someone who tends to dodge the big issues but I am working on it and so are you.
Take it easy on yourself and realize that you are light-years ahead of where you were a few months ago.
