Good advice, good perspective, especially for newcomers to SI who are dazed and confused and clinging to a leaking PFD.

Ditto to every point. It is so hard to realize this when you are in the midst of everything but these points are so valid.

Thank you for this wisdom. My WH says he is remorseful, but his actions say differently. He is tying to make me feel sorry for him and at some point it was working. I needed to hear this. I need to keep the course. Thank you.



When life changes to be harder, change yourself to be stronger.

Great to read, thank you. I'm going through that 'but if I make him mad, he'll leave me' stuff, even though I'm considering leaving HIM - old habits die hard.
