Thanks Pearl. That is true. My IC keeps reminding me of that too. It is hard to be patient through this process, but I know there is no quick or easy way through it.

Pearl, (or anyone else who has been at piecing longer than me)have you told your BF about this forum or any of your online support? I am thinking that eventually I will want to tell my H about it. I know there are times I am typing away on my laptop, either posting here or in the alt, and H seems curious about what that is about. I'm not sure about timing for that. I know that I need to feel secure and safe in this R again first. This place and the people here have been my lifeline and I am very protective of that. Just curious what others have done with that....
