Craig, regarding this site, I have heard a couple of other people say that is gets depressing to them also b/c of all the suffering people express. It may help to take a break for a while or to limit your reading posts. I do hope that you will continue to come and keep us up with your stitch, b/c we do care about you and your W and the MR.
I wish we could all take a break from R's sometime and come back and be refreshed and everything be brand new, don't you? I even thought that if I could just get away from my H and all the problems around this house, it would do me so much good! I still think that....lol. However, it isn't likely to happen b/c I can't afford a vacation....and especially a separate one...lol.
Just trying to lighten things up a bit b/c this stuff does get us down from time to time. However, it has been my therapy and I will continue to say that. I may back away a little bit for a day or two, but find myself back here. My H won't go to C, so this helps me a lot. You have to do what you feel works for you. Take a few days away from the board....maybe a week, then come back and let us know how things are going b/c we will miss you a lot.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
