None of this is about her. It is about you: why you accept addiction, disrespect, manipulation, and betrayal in your relationship, and why you believe you do not deserve better than that.
I accept it all because I am afraid. But I know I can do stuff just me and the boys. I know I am perfectly capable. I know I would get more done.
I read the Intermittent chicken - thank you "Timeforme" and perhaps that is it. Or Bluelilly's cat and mouse analogy. Me!
I don't know. I love her.
