Wasn't the thought to pick something you're suceeding with and build on that? At least, that was my understanding. That's not what's driving me crazy right now. It's the lack of communication between me and the "old fart." I certainly do my share of clear communication but there isn't even an acknowledgement of him having heard me. I'm reading the book Shar suggested in "Giving up pieces of yourself" in Relationships. Skipped right to the communications chapter! LOL It hits the nail right on the head!! WOW!! The problem is getting him to read that chapter and UNDERSTAND it! He doesn't lack the mental facilities. He's just so into his own world of fictional books that I think he's lost touch with reality!!

Where do I find a measure of success in that?? Where do I begin??
