Sounds to me like you are getting stronger & healthier in your latest post. Your W sounds like she may be pushy and not very realistic from what you describe? I hope you can stand strong and not let her talk you into anything you will later regret!!!
I do think my H (and maybe your W) will eventually realize they are making mistakes in what they are doing, but my H will definitely be too stubborn to ever admit that! I hope your W will not be that way!!!
You mention ADs. Are you using Prozac? I just saw a psych yesterday (to make sure I am on the right dosage) and he told me that Prozac was good for panic disorder & phobias (I have the latter) and I guess that is why I have been able to overcome them lately as the Prozac is helping!!! He said if I go off it, my phobias might return so I guess I might have to take it forever which is a bummer (although he said we will lower it to a really low dose at least), but I guess worth it!
Congrats on buying the games & all! I think that is a good idea. Before our separation I never spent any money on myself, just H and the kids, and I have just bought some clothes (I had lost a bunch of weight so really had to do that!) and some makeup and stuff and I think that was def. good for me, boosting my self esteem and PMA!
