Thanks so much, Sue. I did take a risk telling all of you my story and asking for support...the gall, huh? But, you all were wonderful and said things that really helped. I'm so glad I found this forum or I'm afraid I would have continued to make bad choices. I needed people encouraging me to do the right thing, and I didn't have that at home.

The dialogue session went really well. We layed next to each other with our legs touching and I snuggled in next to him. We smiled at each other a few times and our eyes engaged. OMG, that hasn't happened as long as I can remember. I'm so happy. I know we have so much work left, but I am so happy we are finally moving in the right direction. I used to worry about me putting forth work and then it would be for nothing. Funny thing is, even if he and I don't make it for some reason, I would still want to do what I'm doing now. I feel soooo good!!!

Tonight, dialogue session number 2. We got the babysitter lined up for this Saturday, too. POst session number one.
