I know you're dealing with a lot-post-divorce. It is, however, an opportunity to take stock. Do you have a dark passenger? Sometimes it's our dark passenger that's "responsible" for our relationship problems. This post originally appeared in YourTango and it might be useful for your divorce recovery...
Late to the Dexter
party, it was only this year that I inhaled all eight seasons after a free Showtime offer landed in my inbox. I
started with a few episodes, the gateway to a full-blown addiction.
Dexter's dark passenger was part of my fascination.
What is a dark passenger exactly? Is it a secret, or more like a drive, or
perhaps a secret drive? Does everyone have one lurking? Do I? More importantly—do
you?
For a long time I believe my nicotine addiction was
my dark passenger. "It" made me sneak around and lie, things I would
not normally do. When I was young and couldn't always afford to buy smokes,
"it" made me steal cigarettes from an unsuspecting aunt's purse or
money from my mother because she had no cigarettes to steal.
The dark passenger
changes you into a person even you don't quite know: liar, cheater, sneak,
impostor, pretender.
