Babygirl, thank you so much, I need all the help I can get and it would be great to be able to talk to people who are in the same position dealing with the same problems.
Sugar and spice, you analogy is so true. I really think I kept adjusting and adjusting and then it got to be too much. I think you are right that I need to use this separation as a break for myself so that I can see from the outside in.
Boy I can't wait to get to know all of you and look forward to supporting each other.
