LFL, a woman needs to do what a woman needs to do. After my late H died, when I was going to a therapist, I told her a couple of things that I felt really bad about and she said to me, "Don't let's pathologize it. At the time that's what you needed to do."
I have to say it's gutsy of you to post that here, knowing the 2X4's that are going to be coming at you. I might remind people in advance that we're not responsible for what LFL does or doesn't do... we only have to love her no matter what.
I completely understand why you're doing this... you may get some kind of confirmation, closure, your bubble burst... you may get affirmation, hope... or you may come away more confused and unsettled than ever. I know you're ready for any and all of those. You're a big girl... just be careful, okay?
