Hi,

Well, if we were to all discuss how we screwed up our first or past
relationships or marriages, then we'd be studying nothing else for a
long time. It took me ten years of living in deep suffering before I
gathered the courage to break up my marriage. And that, my friends, is
when I discoverd our coach, who I still believe, saved my life. You
see, had I stayed in the rather hellish and abusive relationship I was
in I would have died inside. I was unhappy, I was afraid, and I was
suffering, but I was numbing myself to it in all kinds of ways. And
Pauline, while I appreciate that silence and indifference is
intolerable, I also know that shouting and abusive behavior is equally
intolerable. Stange that I tolerated it for so long. I was ego
attached. Coach helped me to understand that I could choose, that I
could make a choice to be different. And with that choice my life came
back. And here we are, sleepwalking though each day, only occassionally
waking up and making choices. Freedom comes in our choices. Choose
freedom.

Love to you all,

Rob
