thank you both so much. I was actually going to bed, then couldn't stop thinking about this so thought i'd check to see if anyone had any words of wisdom for me.... and you two came through!
Thank you both for validating my emotions/experiences. Pearl, I know we need those books... I think I'll look for them this week.
In reflecting, I am realizing there are also other reasons I was pretty emotionally fragile today (some extended family stuff, financial concerns etc.) There is just too much all at once.
But I know you are both right that these times are part of the piecing and I can't control H's choices/responses but I can work on mine. Being kind to myself, giving myself a break, knowing it's understandable, etc.
