I thought this was so good that I dug up this old thread for it:

Quote from Hope Floats:

  "Letting go isn’t about not loving him/her.  It is about loving him/her enough without her having to reciprocate."

And one more which I liked -- which certainly seemed appropriate: 

Quote
There is no way you can learn to deal with someone in your H's state, you can only learn to deal with yourself 

I liked this because we spend so much time worrying about learning to "deal" with them, we get upset when we 'get it wrong', all that.  To remember that it's out of our control is good at those times.

I just read this, and thought it really deserved to be preserved:


The demon of the mlcer is the pursuit of/entitlement to, happiness.

The demon of the lbs is doubt that it is mlc.


Thank you to whoever originally posted it -- I lifted it from calamityj's thread....
