The ShadowHi Vic-Luc
I don't think she is done with it yet...I still believe she could easily slip back...it is early days yet...she still has a last "free" seminar to attend on the 10th of this month, but I am going to do everything in my power to keep her away...I have not yet been able to establish if she has an CDs from them...if she has I want to try and get rid of them.
the update is that she told me last night that her boyfriend wants to end the "on a break" period, shorten it from one month to two weeks, and he thinks they can work things out.
She was in good spirts when I saw her on Wednesday, we talked about everything except Landmark, except for the brief reference to the seminar (I did not tell her that "free" it IS NOT!, HAH !), and she sounded strong and confident on the phone last night....
I was supposed to meet her this morning, but she is not answering her phone ... so who knows what is going on...I just have to wait and see...
but I did find a really good site when I was doing some googling, and it has some helpful tips on how to deal with keeping the lines of communication open.
You may already have access to the site;

My ex had two or three "lulls," in which she started to sound like herself.
When she needed to feel good or needed support, she ran back.
The problem, fundamentally, was that she couldn't keep herself from "non-LE discussions" for sustained periods of time.
Much like substances abusers who just can't put it down. It was like watching a person "chase the first hit," hoping one day they'd feel just as high as the first time. She could not abstain, nor did she have the desire to, speaking in the substance abuse setting.
And that's the rub. That's the rub.
Something that highly addictive, well...it is what it is. Not even the "wreckage caused whilst out ripping and running" did anything to change it.
She was able to justify, minimise, and rationalise, even be in complete denial.
But she's pledged a life-long commitment.
She did it in the first Forum.
