Alyosha She must learn to find the hope, faith, and happiness within. It would be a heavy burden to put that upon someone who cared and who loved her. It is too much. I wish people would work on themselves before getting into serious relationships. Then they would grow together instead of causing unnecessary conflict and stress. If the ex-spouse had evolved himself, it would have been better for both of us. Yet he did not. Helping him with his esteem was like trying to fill a bucket with a large hole. It never filled nor worked. So many problems. Insane to think it would have ever worked. Now I know I am happy and I am the person I want to love. So finding those qualities in another seems a better, optimistic task.
