It was a little funny reading this. I was that thoughtful, caring, loving guy. I was one charming son of a gun when I met my wife. Then I reverted to my old habits. I was different in that my parents did nothing but set limits on me. And in effect, I did the same things, bury pain and not feeling things. My soothing technique was to smoke dope 24/7. But believe me, getting dumped after 15 years of marriage, made me feel.
When my counselor brought up meds, I said it probably would be a good thing to do without. He said...yes, you have a point.
