[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 19631, member: 3353"] Thanks, everyone. I feel so much better about how I look at husband now than how I have felt when I looked at husband during this whole visit that I can hardly believe it myself. And I do need to practice detachment from everything I think I am thinking, right now. It shook me a little to realize that I was viewing husband in the light I was viewing him in. Really, I did not have a clue about what was happening here. I thought I did though. I thought I should be protecting the mother, and that I was seeing husband as the person he really was for the first time. It was the strangest thing. After thinking all this through with everyone here, I was able to let go of whatever it was I was seeing when I looked at husband's behavior. We were discussing what we were making for dinner or something, and poor husband said something to the effect that I seemed different, this morning. All I told him was that I realized I had been too hard on him lately. And do you know what he did? Thanked me. You believe it? What a hard thing this has been, for both of us. Thank you again every one, very much. Barbara [/QUOTE]
