Oh, Treese, I'm sorry. Today is not a great day for me - usually I find this board helpful, but today I just seem to be able to see how hard this is for people.

When my kids were small, there was so much physical contact between us that I really didn't need any more (long discussion could take place here on the impact of that on my M). Unfortunately, they aren't really into hugging mom so much these days, but I'm trying to touch them more, as I think that will help all of us. I'm also lucky enough to have a couple of dogs that love to cuddle and one of them will be more than happy to sleep in the bed with me once my H moves out.

I'll send you good thoughts.
