Dear Julia,

GOOD JOB!!!! I am SO proud of you!!!! You handled it SOOOO well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I especially like how you didn't pressure him or yourself to have the "big talk" when he was in a bad mood because YOU KNEW THERE WOULD BE MORE TIME LATER. I struggle with that so I am especially admiring of you doing that. And the 180 outfit-- the dessert-- good job! Interesting observation about the "dead look"!

you sound so, so good. I can hear your strength coming out in your posts from deep, deep inside. Love the term "vexatious circumstances". I am so glad you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

love!
