girlfromipanema thanks for dropping in on my thread and for your kind words.
one of big things that came from my sitch is that i've been reconnecting not only with myself but with my family. We've never been close, but i've learned to end each phone call with I Love You. Even my father. and that was before starting therapy. its not easy, but he's a different man now after his own divorce and stroke. I had spoken to him rarely over the past few years, my D has met him for the first time a few weeks ago.
so even though our situations are hellish nightmares and full of pain, i'm proof some good can come out of it. I have the hope that regardless of how my M ends up, i'll find the real me. i've seen glimpse and i'm not all that bad. hehe.
