I think all of us can relate to situations when they don't listen to us and we are left to "clean up" their mess. Been there, done that more times than I can count. It occurred to me that we're coming up on the holiday season and that definitely can put a damper on the spirit. I spent the day today just being quiet and trying to relax. By this evening, I found myself in a better place. Going to therapy and focusing on myself and my own growth has been invaluable. I spend less and less time worrying about his issues. It has made me so much stronger and I am beginning to see a crack in the wall he's put up. We are nowhere near where we need to be; but we're moving in the right direction.

Wyander, I completely understand the anger. I often have to fight those feelings. Who knows why we do what we do? I ask myself that question almost everyday. If anyone has the answer, please let me know.
