Leslie and the Pixies,
Thank you so much for your post. What you said is all very true. I have to work on changing my thinking. Often when I work with him my mind does go to that negative place saying "I cant deal with him, He is driving me nuts I cant take it" and so on... I really have to work on changing these things.
Also the part you wrote above about prayer is dead on. I am a pagan and in AA and both tell me that is what I am supposed to do. I should be praying for him but have not done so. Again it is my negative thinking that is preventing me from doing so.
I have a lot to learn and do. Thank you very much.
Diana
