Well, I guess I'm just venting and going on and on (and up and down) today.
Pre-Db I got something from the most unlikely source that resonated with me and gave me hope (hope, but no real direction, alas).
On the TV show Boston Legal, no less: Attorney Alan Shore is doing an overnight courthouse jail cell stint for contempt. With him in his cell is a state senator busted for being with a prostitute. Senator's devastated wife arrives and confronts him through the bars and, although he turns his head to afford the couple some modicum of privacy, Alan hears and is witness to some wrenching exchanges between them.
Later, when the devastated state senator is being released, Alan approaches him and offers:
"You and she seem to love each other very much. I suspect the pain she feels can only come from love. Don't let her give up on you. I know you would never give up on her. Don't let her give up on you."
At some deep level this really resonated with me even though, at the time, I thought, "Yes! Exactly! But...how?
About six weeks later, I found the beginning of the "how" here.
On with roller coaster ride...
