Real life is----part 5

[Hope4us]

You know what Sara? I did the same as you with the sleep. I went probably 7 months where I didn't sleep for longer than a couple hours at a time and I woke up most mornings between 2:30 and 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. It was affecting my job (how couldn't it?). It was affecting my relationship with my kids. It was affecting my relationships with my family. Still can't be at my mom's house longer than a few hours without NEEDING to leave. She doesn't know. She loves WW like a daughter. Having all boys herself she treats her daughters-in-law like they're her own. It would KILL her if I told her so I'm holding off until I know whether we're going to make it or not.

Anyway, I digress. Normal sleep came for me once I stood up to WW. Once I decided I didn't give a chit whether we made it or not I began sleeping better. Don't get me wrong, I still have my nights, but all in all I sleep well. And I think you will too. Once you're in YOUR house without your H invading your privacy, I think you'll sleep just fine.

And just DON'T let him take advantage of you. The only way someone can take advantage of you is if you let them. Don't.
