Thanks Brit. It's hard to see the small good things sometimes. I try to prepare myself before I talk to her. I try to play out the conversations in my head so that I can make sure that I avoid any hurtful subjects. I try to mostly focus on her and let her talk. She does ask what I've been up to, but so far I've been pretty coy in answering that question. I haven't brought up any of the things that I'm doing different in my life to make it more positive. I think one part of DR is that I can't just tell her about the changes I've made because she won't believe it. I have to wait for her to see how I'm different for her to really believe that I'm GALing. Is this right, or should I be telling her what I've been up to?
