BTW GIMA, thanks for reminding me tp find some happiness with my son yesterday. I had a wonderful day with him. We did have a nice lunch. H came with me after that to my performance, sat through it attentively with grandma, and then came to dinner with me and some friends. I was able to GAL and bond with my son at the same time! I think that is why I felt so empowered when I came home.
EB, you were right as well. Thank you for reminding me last week to get out and have some fun. It made a world of difference to not be sitting around at home ruminating about my sitch.
You are all the best!
Hope, you did the hard work. Just keep doing this. This should show you the importance of, and reason for, GAL'ing and taking the focus off your H.
