Standing up to the punches

[ironMan]

mykarma .... I feel exactly what you describe. I felt proud to provide for my family and to give my W and my D a wonderful life.

I also notice that your W was wounded and you were the rescuer.

I promised myself something yesterday .... I am no one's rescuer from now on. My parents allowed me to fail when it wasn't catastrophic, when I was a kid.

My W's Mom told her what to do and how to do it ... and then made sure she did it. She went from that person telling her what to do to me telling her what to do.


Seems like you found pretty much the same.

Well, live and learn my friend. So, where do we go from here?
