I remember my friend, Meredith, telling me that ShinyBear's tips for piecing were a necessity for her---they helped to remind her that she was normal when experiencing difficulties.
You are providing the same service. Some of us want our spouses home so badly that we think it will just be magical when they get there. Thanks for the reminder that the work is still necessary-- the resentments sometimes still there.
I think we sometimes forget that we do have a say in things, that our opinions, needs, and wants still matter.
You are so brave and wonderful for putting this out here!
