aliens undercover: married to the pod

[hoosiermama]

I have followed you as well--but I have been a bit too discouraged of late to do much replying. I'm sorry--I've been having a big pity party and it's no good for much of anything.

The community at my parish is great. Many of them know of the toxicity, most don't. And that is as it should be--they need to trust and believe in those who are there to serve them. Since I was dealing both with the job ending and my husband leaving, and trying to keep going, I don't think I really was able to grieve the loss that I experienced with the parish. And nothing besides just being away from it was going to help. I was thinking about finding another parish, but D is so involved in the current one that it wouldn't be fair to her really.
