I honestly do not know how it could be any worse than I felt the last two months - major depression. Now that I am getting control of the depression, I feel hopeful once again. How can piecing be harder than that? At least you now have S's cooperation.
Plus, what you describe as what was hard for you are things I feel like I have already overcome in DBing (I do know that he is still the man I want in my life even though we both have changed, and I have already completely forgiven him for everything he has done to me, that he has admitted to at least).
I am still skeptical of H's sudden want to go to MC but since I am planning for the worst, expecting nothing, and hoping for the best, I am going to look up this Retrovaille you speak of.
I know exactly what it is that I need to work on for myself and I have suggestions for H, so that is a start, right?
