Seems positive to me.<br /><br />Re the MOYD, I was in his situation for many years, and have also experienced a long and horrible period of pharmaceutical-induced depression and anxiety attacks, so can sympathise from both points of view.<br /><br />My experience was that there are just times when it is not possible to be caring, empathetic and rational. The effort to treat each situation in isolation from previous similar situations can be just too much, no matter how much I wanted to, and no matter that I realised that it was unfair. We are humans, and humans tend to conflate the present with the past, instead of "living in the moment" and responding to the present according to its needs and reality.<br /><br />The best I could do was to provide a loving, caring, empathetic response as often as I could - which in the end was not enough to keep the relationship going.<br /><br />I'm not making excuses for the MOYD - there is no way that anyone can know the full circumstances of what passes between two other people.<br /><br />You do seem to have (and be gathering) a circle of supportive people, thanks in no small part to your openness, courage and ability to describe your situation in such eloquent language. Just a pity that some of us are too far away to provide more than "virtual" ears and hugs.<br /><br />Stay strong. You are amazing.Data Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586092505914138130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208474862801704325.post-38934498281491787842012-08-23T20:31:03.717+01:002012-08-23T20:31:03.717+01:00Hmmm... what would I wish for?
