Thanks for the posts and support - When you deal with this alone, it seems so surreal. You lose sight of what is normal.
Angelica,
When I read this I thought "Yes, that's exactly how I feel!"
You know, while I was reading over your latest thread I had a thought pop into my mind that they seem sometimes to get so much worse right before a real breakthrough. Of course, we all know there are NO guarantees, but it was a thought and I thought I'd share.
You, my dear, have also ridden on the crazy train, as I have, and I know how very trying it all is. I feel for your sons, also, as I know how this has changed my children for good. I think when the kids are older it affects them in ways the younger ones aren't, because they are older and know too much of just how horrible their parent has become. We can't shelter them the way you can try to a younger child from some of the more carnal knowledge of what the parent is involved in.
Anyway, you are an incredibly strong woman and you will survive this too. I'm glad to see you have gone dark on him. That is the best for you.
Hugs, Sun
