Hi SC,
Sorry to see where things are headed in terms of your H...but I have to say that if anyone has the strength to pull through this and emerge as a bright beacon of hope for her kids - it's you.

"Taking care of me is the best thing I can do for those that I love"

Yes...that signature sums it all up right there - no matter what the situation - if we want our M to work or if we've accepted our M's as over - we have got to take care of ourselves - and love ourselves in a healthy way - in order to model the best of ourselves and offer the best of ourselves to those that we love. It's hard to do - and sometimes we can trip and fall along the way - but the rewards of finding ourselves through loving ourselves with honesty and forgiveness - lets us love others in the most compassionate and giving way imaginable. And I don't mean our spouses - though that can happen too - I mean our children, our families, our friends...a healthier person brings a gift to all around them...just as you've done for the many lives you've touched here on this board.

-Carlos.
