IB you're doing great. The "I go one way, he goes another", wow, that's kind of what we're all dealing with in so many ways, and it's hard to get used to, but I guess we need to just keep saying that this is our life right now, and we accept it as is, and we just try to get through the day. If we get through the day, or those experiences, we don't "fail." We emerge victorious, because there is always a choice. We break down, or we survive.
It sounds like you got through just fine, so good for you!
