Penny, please forgive my "Friday" ranting. When I reread, I do seem crazy. Usually, I am accepting of the way things are. Things at this end are gradually improving, but I am suddenly impatient.
When I read about your husband prancing around in shirts that his OW made just for him, I get flooded and angry on your behalf. That is the problem with this board. We all feel protective of others, but don't value ourselves quite enough to detach in a healthy way.
I am going to try harder. First, I am going to 'forgive' myself for being stupid on this board, then I will try to imagine what I could do differently to ease my situation.
Penny, we have to be creative in order to survive this grief without losing our best selves.
I am interested in how you do manage to cope. Trotting backward {flicka talk} has worked for me before. Awkward as it is...
