i feel like im going in reverse !

Question:

Well, I’m glad that things are getting better, though it’s a slow process. Please don’t be too mad at yourself.  If anything, recognize that you may have made a mistake, but don’t beat yourself up over it.  You are stronger than you realize…it takes great power just to know that it’s time to let someone go, in the first place. I know you’ll be ok, too. Angela — "Everything ends badly…If it didn’t, it wouldn’t end" Bobbie <bgrant…@cyberriver.net> wrote in message

Response:

You are right. You are going in reverse and your hand on the stick shift and your foot is flooring the gas pedal. You fostered this feeling (although it is understandable since the reaction is so common). However, if you want to get through this stop checking up on him and stop thinking the worst. What you are practicing is the pain of speculation. Since you will never really know what he is thinking or doing, you choose to imagine the worst (I’m sure they are just so happy together!..I am sure he is just gloating over what he did! I am sure she doesn’t regret anything she has done! I am sure he spent all night with someone, etc etc). Do you enjoy making yourself sick from the stress that your own imagination wants to create for you?  If you can’t help but wonder what he is doing, why don’t you image something that makes you feel better, since you can’t prove the truth either way. How about…."He’s is not answering the phone because he is lying on his bed in a deep depression over losing me!" If you get proof he is with someone, are you going to imagine that she is a dream-come-true fantasy for him and the earth moves when they touch (of course you are), or imagine she has bad breath and kisses like a fish. Start paying close attention to your thoughts and FORCE yourself to stick to the FACTS. It is arrogant of you to think that you know what someone else is feeling, thinking, or doing or that you could possibly understand the complexities of ANY situation where you are not even present. There are so many people that bring pain through speculation that I strongly recommend you start paying attention to when others do this so that you can learn to stop yourself. Sorry, if this sounds harsh, but you need to take a good hard look at your destructive thought process or you are in for a very long, painful healing. I was there (husband left me, two kids and a 17 year marriage for a secretary half his age without so much as a "see ya later") so rank gives me a little privilege here. I very much want to help you avoid the hard lesson I went through. . Good Luck Shawn

        P&Med         Bobbie, it’s very normal. You went a few days. Bit by bit the days between will get longer. I know right it feels as if the pain will never end, it will. I wish I could wish the pain away, all I can do is offer a friendly ear.
