		<description>Marianne thank you so much for your input Bombshell!!  I love what you said about our Bombshell needing to learn that her happiness is up to her!!  Many women that have been emotionally abused in this way are not necessarily looking at their spouse to make them happy... they are actually thinking that they are the ones that are crazy because the guy is one way one minute and different the next.  They do not yet realize that this craziness is not normal because it has been their version of normal, so we start there.  As she starts to see the patterns as &quot;facts&quot; then it is much easier for her to step away from &quot;feelings&quot; and see what is actually happening.  Unfortunately for guys like &quot;Paul&quot;,  when the Bombshell does start to move away from him toward the things that bring her joy, the behavior escalates and can become dangerous....so our &quot;Pattie&quot; must be very careful in planning her exit, for her safety and that of her children.  If he doesn&#039;t get help it will NOT go away on its own.  So in the meantime I give Pattie some tools in her Bombshell toolbox that will help ease the stress of the Dr.Jekyl/Mr. Hyde, walking on eggshells existence...and moving toward joy is SO SO SO important.  Thank you again Bombshell for your comments and insight my dear!!XOXOGigi</description>

		<description>What I have learned in dealing with people is that if YOU want to be happy, you MUST MUST MUST focus on doing what makes you happy.  If you focus on trying to shape people and circumstances to fit your idea of happiness, you will find it&#039;s an exercise in futility. When you take focus off of yourself, and put it on others, you suffer.
It may seem uncomfortable to put this in to practice, it may seem selfish and self centered at first... But once you see the results of focusing on only YOU, you&#039;ll totally &#039;get it&#039;.

When you start to live your life and do what makes you happy and proud, the people that belong in your life easily remain, and the ones that don&#039;t belong seem to filter out on their own. 

If this guy, Paul, is giving her that much anxiety and stress, then Pattie is spending too much time on what HE is doing. Not enough time on what SHE needs. Try coming and going while answering to one person only.  Try looking in the mirror (when you feel like you need him to compliment you) and say out loud &quot;My Gosh! I look good!&quot;.  If you want to go to a party, GO.  Who says you need him to come with you to make your night enjoyable??? Do you really want to depend on someone else for your happiness? - surely not!

Pretty soon, the passive aggressive MANIPULATION will cease to work. he will either find someone else to manipulate, or realize that tagging along with you is so easy and peaceful and fun and stick around because he enjoys being there.  And by this time.... You&#039;ll not care either way, because you don&#039;t need someone to complete your idea of happiness.

Sorry for the rambling!</description>

		<description>You raise some good points that factor into ALL relationships -- it is NEVER about fixing the other person.  You either love the package or you do not.  You either get what you want out of the relationship or you do not. There are real healing opportunities for both parties when things go awry, but to get the most out of the healing, BOTH parties need to be ready to heal.

Thank you for starting such an important conversation, My Bombshell!!  XOXO, Katherine.</description>

It is not uncommon for people that have this to deny it...please let me know if I can be of help to you about how to approach the topic.  Thank you again Bombshell!!XOXOGigi</description>
