How Do You Handle Conflict? [EXPERT]
Driving on ice and emotionally charged conversations have more in common than you might first think. However, it's probably best to start with an example of the lion and the gazelle. You've probably seen a nature show in which a swift and fierce predator ...A Secret For Staying Open Instead Of Shutting Down [EXPERT]
You know those loony people who go to go to those really hard, sweaty yoga classes where the teacher will instruct everyone into some insane pretzeled-out pose and then keep them there for what seems like an inhumanely long time? I’m one of the ...Take Control Of Your 'Parts' To Finally Move On [EXPERT]
Here's a hard truth; are you ready? There are parts of you that guarantee you will never get what you want most. Ever said something like, "Part of me is ready to move on from my ex, but part of me can’t stop obsessing about him or her," or “Part of me is ready for a great ...Why Making A Mess Can Get You Closer To Success [EXPERT]
Messes. Misses. Mistakes. Better to be right than wrong, right? Wrong. Consider this: each day after school, my friend's father asks his two daughters what they succeeded at and enjoyed. And then he also makes sure to ask them where they tried and failed. He appreciates both; and he's teaching ...The #1 Reason Men Cheat [EXPERT]
We all know that men (and likely women for that matter) cheat because the sex isn't that good anymore or they've found something better elsewhere, right...? Maybe not. /node/46500 It turns out there's something else quite remarkable going on. For the most part, men ...MY QUESTIONS

MY ANSWERS
- First of all, my heart goes out to you and the baby (I'm 8 months pregnant with my first). A salute to your courage in getting out of the abusive relationship, not only for you but for your little one. It sounds to me like you are thinking a lot about the IDEA of the baby's father, rather than the actual man he's able to show up as. I suggest two things to help you get over him. First, write one list of what you want to leave behind and another list of what you want to step into as a strong woman and mother. Burn the first list (be safe!). Fire is a cleansing element. Then, dig a hole in the ground and plant the second list, so you can grow into it. I know that could all land as kind of fruity, but often when I need a little help with things like this, ritual helps.
The second thing that I find so, so helpful as I contemplate being a flawed person who also wants to be an amazing mother and parent is this: how can you model for your little one what you'd want him/her to learn in this situation? If she/he was learning about getting out of abusive situations (he/she IS!), how can you teach him/her by your actions, emotions and being-ness?
