Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I agree, Simon seemed so cold at first, and now he is opening up. And showin gus his "softer' side.

Simon has me reaching for the tissues with every episode. I love this little guy. He seems so sincere and so serious! I think he has grown from being at SO and I hope that their marriage and they themselves are stregthened by the experience.

And I thought I was the only one tearing up ...Simon's full of surprises.

Simon is off to a good start, but this is just the beginning.
I am still trying to understand, especially I was surprised that it seems that no one seems to support him right now.

It is as if things have turned on him. Will he be able to find the support he needs among anyone else except Iyanla? And if he doesn't find that support other than her, can he do all that he has to do to break through. I think from now on it will be rather difficult for him.

I think the group could have discussed more with him, especially since he had been supporting other group members like Lou, so much. Was he really too "intense"?
Was he given a fair hearing by the group. or are the issues too intense for the group?

Well what I got from the community meeting that Simon requested was when they tried to talk to him he didn't want to hear what they said, he just got up and walked out. He thought they would all side with him against Kacie. I think he wasn't willing to listen yesterday although I understand where he is coming from. He doesn't want to see the restrictions he puts on her. That's one closed box he still has to open, but I am a big Simon fan. He has come a long way!
