I thought of your situation DanaB when I read this but it applies to us all:<P>"Couples cannot resolve in any healthy way the universal issues of marriage-dependancy and independancy, dominance and submission, freedom and fidelity, for example-without the security of knowing that the act of struggling over these issues will not itself destroy the relationship."<BR>M. Scott Peck, "The Road Less Travelled" p.141<P>

(((((((HOPELESS))))))) <P>When are you going to make a happier name girlfriend?<P>That quote was a mouthful! I had to read it a few times to get it into my head.<P>It makes a lot of sense. It's odd you sent that because it's something I've discussed with Bf in recovery right now. <P>I take that to mean that we have to be honest that the very factors we are dealing with have the very real power to destroy us. I also believe in my mind that anything that is a struggle is an opportunity to make ourselves stronger as an individual and in my case, working on making a stronger relationship too.<P>That sounds like a book I might like to read.<P>Hugs, Dana
