Husband lost this morning.
He is embarrassed.
He is disappointed.
He is surprised that it happened so easily.
But the good news is that I am not heartbroken.
I don't feel betrayed.
And I don't feel responsible.
Husband called to tell me and I feel bad for him. I'm disappointed FOR him instead of IN him. But I am glad that this time when he said "I don't know what to do" I could respond with "I thought you had a plan of what to do when this happens." and he immediately knew what he had to do.
He doesn't like it, but he has planned what needs to happen and I think that is a bit of a relief for him.
We certainly aren't flying through the steps or making fast enormous strides in this recovery process, but for today - having a plan is a good step forward.
I'd say you have made some HUGE progress ! And a plan in place...that is awesome ! Keep it up !
ReplyDeleteWhat great progress! I'm impressed! I love that I'm feeling more and more instances of what used to send me in to a downward spiral that lasted for days just doesn't rattle me as much anymore . . . in fact, things that used to freak me out and make me feel bad are things I can look at now as learning opportunities and even progress!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your husband though, that's tough! He'll be in my prayers!
Holy smokes! THIS:
ReplyDelete"I'm disappointed FOR him instead of IN him" seems like a HUGE stride forward. Way to go Mrs. A :)
