I'm glad those days are over. Really, what really helped was knowing that every tear was making me stronger. Even now, I get a tad weepy from time to time, and I know that those moments I'll be able to handle easier the next time, too. Such a process.
Yeah, this 'primal' crying... I know it. You picked yourself up off the floor pretty quick. And sounds like other than trying to reason with him and shedding tears you stayed dignified. I didn't! I love your determination to stay strong....keep it up!
