Hi JL, glad that you found me over on hopefulness--or hopelessness--however you see it. Can't bring my self to go to surviving yet--the D is still in the works. And most of those over on separated are still trying to save the marriages. I have basically come the the realization that my H is gone for good. He's moved on to someone else and forgotten everything that we ever had together.
So here I am, just trying to keep my head above water. It's hard swimming in emotional muck.
Sorry about your son and his chicken pox. Been there and it is no fun. Aveeno baths are great.
It sounds like you had a good weekend despite your H. Good. I hope that you had a wonderful birthday. Know that people out here are thinking about and praying for you.
