So as not to TJ Caren.

>married a woman who could be capable of doing this.

People change LM. She might not have been that person when you married her...but something, somewhere got bent. I dunno. Maybe she was. But YOU didn't know that. You're angry b/c you're not a seer???? You're angry cos you CAN'T look into someone's soul and tell if there is something mishapen and twisted in there? Or mad because it was unfixable? Or ticked off because her "attempt" to change it was half a$$ed?

C'mon.

You get angry over the goodness and patience of the Betrayed that becomes trampled and abused by the Waywards over and over and over. That's it. There is the crux.

You dispense very valid points to people who don't listen or won't or can't for whatever reasons they try to come up with for following their own "plan". But you don't stop. You haven't given up on people in general.

That, after all you've been through, is admirable.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Great post..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />...You hit it dead center. There is not much else to say.....you said everything that I feel in literally three paragraphs.

I know in the depths of my heart that my WW did what she did of her own voliton, but somewhere I still haven't reconciled with my self for "what I missed". How did I miss this in her?

In all honesty, one of my biggest flaws in life is trying to be the "fixer". If there is a dissected aorta, lets repair it..if there is a lacerated spleen...lets take it the F*** out......I still dysfunctionally at times become angry with myself for not having been able to "fix this".

I know I have to figure it out someday, as history usually repaeats itself unless things change. This is why I stay here and try and learn everday. I hate to see good people in pain, and this is why at times here I am so uncomfortable and get angry.

Thanks again for the post.

Some people just don't get it, they don't get it that they don't get it.

I had the right to remain silent.......but I didn't have the ability.

Man! I sure used a lot of "yous" in that one. Sorry to sound so accusatory.

It sucks to be a fixer. I know. At least you can recognize it for what it is, right?
