Hi Jeannine,those personal inner demons we all face are nasty aren't they? But thanks to dbing and this BB we have the tools we need to get past these times. I'm learning to get past mine as well (finally realized that their my problem)I used to lash out at my W when I felt hurt,angry, ect.
I can relate to your H not wanting to cave, my W I sense has similiar feelings and it's important to me that if she stays or goes it's her decision , then I know it's real!
Take care C.
