Ring On or Ring Off????

Nice job handling all the things life has thrown at you in the last week.

I hope your D16 isn't in for a future full of menstrual trouble. I remember being in terrible pain during one of my first periods and my mom took me to the hospital, thinking it might be appendicitis. I felt so silly when it turned out to be 'just menstrual pains'. After that I cowgirled up and suffered thru the pain each month until it started putting me on my knees or making me nacious or I would black out from the intensity. Finally went back to the doctor 25+years later, lots of internal trouble, 2 surgeries later..... Things are different now, people talk about those ghastly things! I know you're a great mom and you'll be able to support your D16, it really can affect her mental health too.

About your H, expect nothing. Keep your house a home, but do it for you and the kids and let him watch thru the door that is slightly ajar. Keep moving forward....
