Dandylion, You summed up my reaction when you described Chapter * as being sooo "Ozzie and Harriet"!
M1k3, I also felt that it put a burden on me as far as my place in his recovery. Quite the opposite of what I have learned here about staying on my side of the street.
Dragynlady, thank you for the book recommendation and the reminder to Focus on my own peace, something I am still struggling with. I'm doing well with boundaries, but not as well with recognizing the quacking. I have so much still to learn
MsPINKAcres, perspective is everything! For the past week I've struggled to gain a new perspective. The events of this week have unsettled me and surely I did not read Chapter 8 with an open mind. Thanks for your point of view.
Not related to Chapter 8: In response to my AH filing for divorce, I paid my attorney his retainer fee today.
