Well that's great! I know - I'm in my forties & it's hard to get together w my old friends who are married & have kids to do stuff. But I think getting back to doing stuff you love is a great step. I say that not having done it myself! But I am thinking about how to. You are thinking about doing things you like & that seems to be the key to GAL.
I know what you mean about family, a main reason I went back to IC. I realized by dumping on my sisters I was putting them in a position of defending me, which of course I love. But not really productive, as they get mad. I need another, objective person to spill everything to. That's nice about you MIL, my H's parents (he's so lucky to still have them both!) also expressed similar thougths to me soon after the bomb. However I havent' heard from them lately & I think it may be good to not talk to them right now. It's hard to detach from H & his family. After all they were like my family too. But doesn't seem possible right now at least. But you have kids so makes sense they stay in touch with you. I think that's good for your kids too. Hope you have a good weekend, it's a long one! Keep up the strength!
