"Strength through insanity" .. that sums it up pretty well, HB.

Woke up this morning like I'm coming off a two week drunk .. puffy eyes, fuzzy head, twitch in my left eyelid. I had detached very well from H for many months (since last August), and I thought I was doing okay. Then all that resolve came tumbling down yesterday.

Well, now's not the time to give in or give up. Actually it may be a blessing in disguise, as many of you wise people pointed out. The situation has come to a head. H can't stall anymore or flaunt the law anymore. He will have to be accountable for his actions.

A big part of me worries about H .. I do think he has mental problems beyond MLC. A judge in another state ordered him into alcohol rehab last month. Maybe this judge will order him into psychiatric counseling.

HB .. I used to dread going to the mailbox everyday b/c I thought I would find divorce papers from H. Then things began to get better between us and I stopped worrying -- that's when I got them. H dropped the D two days later! There's just no telling with these MLCers.

Holly .. today will be a better day. Hugs to you, too, girl.
