I guess what I'm afraid of is that neither I nor cac will ever really see me as anything but a recovering LDW. And an LDW is such a bad thing to be.
((((((mrscac))))))) I am going to tell you that your statement just doesn't have to be true. You may feel like that inside and that gets more to your self-esteem, but I bet cac would say differently. I am speaking from my own experience here. I truly don't even think of my H as LD right now. In fact, he is more HD than me, simply by the effort he is putting forth (as you are). See? Things can change. The dynammics of the R/M can change. You are amazing mrscac. And I think my H is amazing too...for making such an effort. Just wanted to give you a hug and big pat on the back. You can be Proud. And I really encourage you to kick that LD label to the curb. It is not going to help you in the long run. You too cac. I think when you can both get rid of the HD/LD labels, your M will see a great improvement.
