Daughter: daddy, let me show you mommy and Johnny's new sharing room.

Ex: I don't think he wants to see that I don't want him to feel uncomfortable.

Daughter: well daddy let me let you talk to Johnny.

Me: sure I don't mind I'm glad you like to share your life with me.

Me: smile and breathe

This morning I woke again to an empty house and the phone calls that just don’t come. I offer gratitude for every person that has offered support.

I have had a cognitive distortion banging around in my brain. It’s that old saw “nobody cares”. When the reality is that many people care many people are suffering. This isolation is real and the pain is real. And people care. I care. Today I aspire to transform my suffering through acceptance and positive response.

"Anytime you do not feel anger, blame, self-pity, bitterness or resentment, then you are experiencing recovery. If you think of your former spouse less often than you used to, this is a sign of recovery. If you are living in the present more than you are dwelling in the past, you are recovering. When you look back and see where you have been, that means you are in a position of recovery."

Entrust your loved ones to Me; release them into My protective care. They are much safer with Me than in your clinging hands.
