G, it's something I'm just not used to! STBX couldn't have cared less if I was sick, it was seen as an irritation that interfered with whatever she wanted to do and that was from day one. You know, when I told my shrink that SDA Lady had texted me "drive safely, the roads are snowy and slippery today" I had tears roll down my face. The fact that she thought of me really touched me...and I told SDA Lady so. This lady just has a knack for letting you know she cares. Every time I talk to her I come away feeling cared about. That's so nice... and I try and do the same for her. I told the shrink "we'll probably nice each other to death lol!"
