Ok.
It’s only been a few dozen pages of Love and Loathing and I feel like some of the secure pins holding me up have started to spring loose.
My hammok shutters and lerches.
And I can see that I have been living a pattern that others know well enough to write a book on it. To my own credit, and my resulting sanity, I spontaniously followed many of the recommended stages and steps to recongnizing the abuse, setting boundaries – and, eventually made good on the threat of ending the relationship.
However, I see that I am indeed clinging to a number of beliefs that bind me still, to that pattern.
To that end, I’m going to expand this blog and reach out to those who are further ahead on the path than I, by joining the Stop Walking On Eggshells Forum.
…and so off I went, searching the net for the SWOE Forum or Stop Walking on Eggshells Support Group — but I only come up with the Amazon listing info – which, I might add, is extensive and enlightening… but not what I wanted.
But – I’m off to join Forums for Men Who Are Victims of Abuse.

try this right here. the email address given is for the guy who wrote the book you’re talking about. Write and ask him if there’s a forum you can attend.

oops…me again, to find a group or forum I went to Google Groups. I’m not sure which search engine you use but whatever engine you use try looking under groups….aol and yahoo might have the same thing, Netscape as well. if you do a general search on Google you’ll get nothing but Amazon like I did at first. But if you go into the preferences area then you can type in that you don’t want returns from Amazon. It narrows the scope.
good luck
