KerryK,

I feel like I know you. I've read your threads very thoroughly. I'm so impressed with your intelligence and love for your children.

I'm pretty strong, so my punch packed a wallop. My H has a black belt in Taekwondo so I'm lucky he only pushed me away. I wish he would have hugged me close and told me he was sorry for causing so much damage/pain to my heart and confidence... but that's not his way.

My H is a very traditional asian man (has only been in the states since college) and not open to marriage counseling. My IC is japanese and understands the way of the traditional asian male. H supports me in seeking IC, but does not want to involve an uninterested third party in our personal affairs. Trust me, I've tried to get him to come around.

Friends tell me any guy would be lucky to have me. I do have a lot of fun, wonderful qualities. I know I can be a better person and always want to seek personal growth. I think I focused so much of my attention (and love) on my H that he may feel I'm ultimately dependant on him for my happiness. Time for me to focus on MEEEEEEEEE!

BTW, I'm not from Rio, but I love the song. I never think of any clever screen names...

Hang in there, KK.
