arthur...that was my initial argument - but she seems not to think it's in her best interest. Indeed, there is much I can blame myself for in this breakdown of communications, but until she is ready and willing to accept partial responsibility there is not much i can do...and that is the most frustrating part.
For whatever reason, our paths have separated. Somewhere along the way here we lost each other, and lost ourselves.
I think the only thing that might save it, is the imte apart to rebuild what we are, and what we were, as individuals.
Only then will we be able to focus on what we had, what went wrong, and what we might be able to have again.
She says she feels like herself again now that we are separated - that she feels happier and more confident. I'm truely happy for her for that, but inside it burns to know she couldn't be that way with me...that she had to turn her back on me to get there.
And caught in the middle of this desparate time is a 9 year old boy who already has lived the life of a 90 year old, and needs nothing more than the stability and love of his parents. Which he will always get no matter what.
He must remain my focus - everything else is of a secondary concern.
Thank you all who posted for your wonderful insight, concern, and quotations.
They mean a LOT.
