I came across this short muse which struck a rather profound cord with me.


Eagle in the Barnyard.

One day, a farmer found an eagle's egg and decided to place it in a barnyard nest. The eaglet hatched and grew up thinking he was a chicken. He scratched for worms, clucked, and only flew a few feet into the air.

Years passed. The eagle grew old. One day he saw a magnificent bird circling above him. Awestruck, he asked, “Who is that?”

A chicken said, "That’s an eagle—the king of birds. He belongs to the sky. You and I belong to the earth." The eagle believed the chicken, and he died a chicken.



Let's face it for many of the betrayed spouses here trying to make sense of things, picking up the pieces, comforting children, running households, and mending a broken heart.

It's so important not to buy into the off base negative messages that wayward spouses use like clock work& dish out.

This is a special reminder not to believe everything you hear from your WW. Consider the source way off side, don't buy in to the negativity and be extra good and nice to yourselves!

Typically, wayward spouses once they have " MESSED UP BIG" they "just don't play nice", make life very difficult and it's the spouse/family that suffers.

Owning their bad behaviors, poor choices, and their personal failures is seldom on the their "to do" and "undo" list agenda.

Deeper into the barnyard activities a wayward spouse gets, they lose control, and cannot get out on their own without. Seriously needing professional help.
