Thanks for the posting on detachment. I've been forgetting to do that lately. I've missed my al-anon meetings lately because of my children's summer activities, and I needed a good reminder. My husband and I went through a "His Needs Her Needs" course and things were better for a while. Now things are getting back to same old same old. I want to fly and see and do things. I've been thinking he was a "ball and chain" keeping me back, holding me down from flying. Your posting reminded me that I can detach and "fly". Marriage shouldn't feel like a "ball and chain", it should feel like togetherness though. It's his choice whether he wants to fly with me or not. (FYI - flying does not mean on an airplane or using substances)

Hi Psalms63! Thank you, I am glad this was of some help to you. I came across this somewhere on the MB Boards, just can't remember where. I cut and paste a lot of stuff - the latest one I found was something about Abusers and their behaviour. I certainly don't have all the answers, but I try to offer some encouragement and very basic help based on my past experience to folks on these boards. May God bless you & your husband.
Harold
