That's great to hear. I think you are getting the hang of it and I'm glad to hear you are having a nice time. Keep up the good work!

I'm fine with unsticking the posts on both threads. The poster should chime in as well..

I need help with the triggers.

For ex. he NEVER shaved his hairy chest and now he does. It irritates me every time I see it because it's information I'm not asking for but it's there! (I see him without a shirt on when we take S4 to swim class)

My suggestion is to take the triggers one at a time and deal with them. That worked for me, but it takes time...

I think I'm getting a better sense of the whole detachment thing. I see things from as an observer. I am beginning to see the sitch as if I took a step out of the box and all these things are going on. Removing myself and allowing it all to happen but not playing a part in it nor allowing myself to get sucked into it.

How am I doing?

Keep that focus!

H took S4 to the pool and I could tell he wanted me to go. H - you don't want to go? Me- uh no, I'll go next time

Before I woulda taken every single opportunity to do things as a family and now I can pick and choose. Yesterday yes, today no, tomorrow maybe...

Just be careful that you don't do that out of anger but rather because that's how you feel. That comes across to somebody who's looking smile

When H brought it up today, I gladly agreed to go smile I wasn't upset yesterday. I wanted to stay home.
