It's my birthday, and I've been separated three months--out of the house. I've committed my share of sins, but her MLC is also a big part of what's going on. The posts from Snodderly and others have been so helpful. This board is truly a wonderful place to be, and I come here often.
Nothing (at least not yet), from the WAW, and I suppose at some level I don't expect anything, not even some acknowledgement. I've read more than enough here on the boards and in dozens of books to know about her emotional state right now, so it's probably unfair for me to expect any acknowledgement of the day.
Still, I can't help but also say that it hurts. I know I'm far from the only one to have experienced this, and others have experienced far worse. Still, it hurts. How did others cope with times like this? I know about GAL and all that, and I've been doing fine overall, all things considered. It's just that today is one of those really down days we all have from time to time. Thanks for listening.
