It sounds like you are doing great with your sitch! I agree- we do so many hurtful things in our M and it takes a long time to forget, forgive and start being nice to each other again- like when we first met our spouses. Takes a lot of patience, but you will get there. You have identified that you need to work on having patience (my area of work too), and that means you are on the path to correct that part of yourself. We all want a quick fix and there isn't any- it takes a lot of time, hard work, breaking bad habits and forgiving the other person for their faults and weaknesses. I applaud you (and your W) , for working so hard on saving your M and I wish you much success!
I am so happy your girls are great. Stuttering can be a nervous disorder- I say that because my sister stuttered as a young girl and does now even at 60, when she gets nervous. Your daughter may outgrow the stuttering. Sounds like you have your hands full with D8, control issues and all. A struggle for power is never easy! I can relate to the stubborness!
I am thrilled to hear you are writing a book. What genre? I always wanted to write a novel, but just never got started.
Having enough time is a huge problem for most people.Sounds like you and your family need a time out to recuperate and just let things settle.A lot of emotions are still in the air and that is tiring day after day. Plus your upcoming 5k. Sounds like a whirlwind of activity! please S L O W D O W N !! Take care, my forum friend.All will be as it should be.I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
