Mort My Hero
While I definitely should be using the Lone Ranger Boot Camp program, there is no way I can afford it. And so I cling to Mort's emails and books. My husband has been medically depressed for over 18 months now, during which he decided to move out. He is slowly been coming out of it, problem being like a different man. He is obstinate, self centered, and only concerned about himself. Because of my hurt and anger using Mort's advice I am able to change my perspective and have hope for the man I married. This all has made me realize my reactions to situations contributed to this mess. His rages (part of the depression) I would run from not wanting to hear anymore evil, vile words from him. I have learned if I had responded in a kind loving way maybe this situation with us wouldn't be where it is today. There have been small changes so far. We can have really good times between us, talk about good times we used to have. But then he pulls away. So I just keep following Mort's advice. Hopefully this will make the difference. A really important part of this is that I feel better about myself. The positive advice makes such a difference at the end of the day when I can say I did good today! I handled things in a good way not bitter or mean. I can look at myself see things I need improvement on and feel good that I can make those changes and that they make me a better person. Now if I could only get him on board!!! Like I said this is from emails and his books only and the difference in my attitude is unbelievable! Not that I don't get down and frustrated I do. I just go back to the books and emails, read what I have highlighted, take a deep breath and dig in again! Best of luck to all of you using this program. I hope it turns out well for you. Although honestly I can't see how it wouldn't. It's amazing to me how a shift in attitude and perspective can make such a difference! Can't say what it is like to work the program with my spouse. Just saying even on this limited basis and doing it alone I can see what the potential is.
