Mul..

Please review your outlook. That poor woman had views quite similar to yours....Superior and all-wise, intolerant of any other view, argumentative, and fiercely loyal to whatever the "cause de Jur" was that year.

For your own future well-being, please try to be more balanced and accepting of other views, other ideas, other people or your mind will freeze and your outlook will become even more narrow and out-of-focus.

I do not wish the president any ill. Further, I do not accept fully that there is a "problem" with the prez's actions. There may or may not be a problem. Future actions may either resolve this situation and it may not. Who knows? I want the world situations to be resolved in as equitable a manner as possible. Therefore, I pray that the ideas and policies put forth morph more into reality, the kind of rational and logical proposals that can be accepted by other nations, repairing the global community.

Thanks, fellas for the kind words. One of the most horrible things is to watch another person slowly unravel and finally realize that the three rules of AlAnon really do apply:

You didn't cause it (the problem)

You can't control it

You can't cure it.

Yeah, mul..and I not only went to Al Anon meetings, early in the process five or more a week, but I supported her by also going to AA meetings with her.

It might be an interesting excercise to examine the roles of close supporters as "enablers", adding to, rather than forcing the individual to face the situation.

island: in the jargon, it is referred to as a disconnect.
