Think I should put the Mars/Venus book on the Christmas wish list H asked for yesterday? ;-)
Eh, kidding aside, I'll plan on making that my next read.
I am seeing more every day how much control I really do have over my emotions. I mean, I can't and shouldn't stuff my feelings, but I can choose whether I let them take over my experiences or not.
I heard a good analogy once: You can't help if a bird lands on your head, but you can make sure it doesn't build a nest there.
During my quiet-after-the-kids-are-in-bed time this evening, I was hit with a fearful thought...H could be telling me anything about his activities and be totally lying. He's very good at it. But I managed to beat it off, and focus on the fact that he is changing some big behaviors.
Obviously, he has some things to work out before he comes home again to stay. I am not totally convinced that he's working on any of his demons though. Sometimes I think he just plain likes being "single" and not having to deal with day-to-day living with us is freedom.
