This a little note for those who remember my name and my circumstances. I am still in those circumstances. I am still played for a fool occasionally, but I now see it coming and decide whether to allow it or not. My wife filed for divorce but I have no court date yet. I have begun what can only be called mildly self-destructive habits...or perhaps I haven't started them...more like revived them. I am going back to the way I was 6-7 years ago. I am still alive, and I suppose that is what is important. My soul dies a little piece at a time, a day at a time. As within, so without. But, I wake up...and that implies hope. Take care, everyone. I will return when I need a boost or when I read a post that I can relate to and offer encouragement to. Best wishes and I wish you all better luck than I have.

Hey Wolfen,<p>Nice to hear from you. I am sorry you are still in a bad place, but coming here is a good place to be.<p>Wolfen, I don't want to try to tell you what to do, and I have no idea what those 'bad habits' are you refer to, but I would like you to pause for a bit and think about whether doing those things are helping you in any way. I suspect that they are providing you with a release for your frustrations, but so will a good jog, ya know?<p>Please come here more often and share a little more of what is going on, we can't fix it for you, but we can listen and provide a cyber-shoulder.<p>Please think about it.<p>love and light,<p>Jacky

Wolfen- I feel I understand the painful place you're in. Have you tried individual counselling? I went through two counselors in a month before I found one that I thought was worthwhile. <p> I also found Don Ruiz's "The Four Agreements" to be a powerful tool in my personal recovery. I would strongly recommend it.<p> I think there are ways to express how you feel that will not erode who you are.I've found as I try to navigate this minefield that I needed help . That help has made all the difference so far.<p> I pray that you find the strength, peace and love that should be yours!<p> Dan<p>[ October 30, 2001: Message edited by: Family Man ]<p>[ October 30, 2001: Message edited by: Family Man ]</p>

Of course I remember you. I think of you often in fact due to my 10 year old D's fascination with Wolves. Don't laugh, it just triggers me thinking about your login name. <p>I am sorry to hear you are so down.. Don't self-destruct. Take things one day at a time. Remember this forum is a great place to leave your worries behind. <p>Good luck and God Bless.<p>PP
