* How can I make sure my W is "safe". Not hurt herself, etc when I'm going dark.
You cannot. But when you expose to family and any really close friends you say to them to take care of her as they are friends of the marriage and you cannot.
Plus you expose quickly.... We are talking 10 minutes... Tops... I actually went to the In laws and had tea and cried and explained it to them in detail after the initial exposure
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
