Don't believe anyone that says something like that. You are fine. One of my friends constantly says "Wow, you are stronger than me, I could NEVER let my H do ___ if we were going through a divorce". I finally spoke up and told her it felt like code for me having no backbone.

Yay for GAL! Hey, since you love painting so much, combine GAL, buy a ticket to StL and come paint with me. \:\)
