Your journey back to center is a journey back to truth. It is a journey toward the truth that you are not the cause of his acts of violence and desperation. It is a journey toward the truth that you deserve a life lovingly supportive of No-Matter-What Goals.

EYES ON THE PRIZE: SETTING YOUR NO-MATTER-WHAT GOALS

We understand that setting goals can be daunting. We’ve already talked about the concerns you may have about ways that your partner may retaliate against you, or even try to harm your children, if you orient your life toward yourself. We also recognize that it can feel pointless to set goals when you are in deep discouragement or exhaustion—if, for example, you have very small children and are trying to function with barely enough sleep to remember your own name, or if you are recovering from illness or severe injury. But it is worth it!

We will be realistic, taking into account the grief, fear, or danger that may arise. And we won’t forget the challenging limitations of time and energy that you may have.

EXERCISE 10–2: NO-MATTER-WHAT GOALS

If this is the case, answer the questions with that in mind, and also play with whatever other ideas come to you.
