The convo with my friend re: MIL just confirms that she/W hasn't seen or felt what she needs from me and that's ok. I'm on my own journey now, and like we see a lot on these boards..letting the WAW go on theirs is a must-it hurts but know I have to let her do that without compromising my self worth anymore. Any additional insight?
I can empathize with you about the ring. Believe me, I never thought I would ever take that thing off in this lifetime. It's like we LBSers all want to wake up from this nightmare. I feel your pain and it does help a bit knowing others really do understand what I'm going through-and we are all miles away, weird..
