I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned ..

Thanks guys ... and I'm fine, REALLY I actually didn't realize just how angry the post sounded till Bear pointed it out to me ... thought it was just a little "rant"

I like to think that sometimes we get to shut down, quit being the strong one, the stable one, and just have a meltdown

Agreed. It all comes down to what you do with it, where you direct it and what you learn from it. I got hit with some of the rage that surfaces every once in a while. Venting helps and, for me, a good swift kick is the a$$ is often what it takes to thrust me forward again (but I will take that hug Lance ... thanks ). I tend to grow after stuff like this.

This wasn't even rage about H ... it was more "general" in nature ... and quite frankly, unnecessary. My life is good. I am very fortunate. Note to self *go back and read my anniversary post.*

Nice to have a tutu wearing, 'Rican cheerleader on the sidelines when the games get rough, isn't it?

Sure is. I wouldn't be where I am without him.

Should be interesting today ... we have a "mediation" appt today with the MC to talk about outstanding issues. Exposure to OW is what prompted the meeting originally but the holidays are now on the table too. Can't wait :P

Peace
