Hey Bridget, just wanted to say that I agree with you & Lilly about the meltdown and then big step theory. It's almost like the lightning before the thunder or something. I also notice that joking around/humor seems to be a really transitional tool as well - which is something that Michele is constantly telling us .
I also wanted to tell you that I really admire your ability to get into your stuff and do some really difficult things. There are a lot of people who aren't really willing to do much of anything... and here you are sweetie. God Bless Ya hon because you exemplify the strong and graceful woman. I really hope he gets it and learns to not be threatened by you. You deserve (and will get more of) THE BEST.
Remember, water seeks it's own level. As much as a brat as he's been...after 17 years I think he'll surprise himself as to how much he's the one that needs you in this R. I bet you both thought it was the other way around...
