thank you for reminding me about the positives. Even if they are little and don't mean a lot. But they are positive nonetheless. Yay, I'm very excited about finally becoming a citizen. I've been putting it off for a while and finally decided to go for it (it's more the bureaucracy and $$ that caused me to procrastinate).
Rick-
I think it's great that you got to experience other cultures at a young age. I'm sure it contributed to the person you are today. I agree that this community is almost like a family. I look forward to catching up on people's situations and the feedback and support in my own. My S4 will be so jealous if he finds out you went to see the Bruins
IC tonight went well. My C seems impressed with the way I've been handling everything. She said she will recommend this forum to others. I told her that without the support and wisdom from here, I would certainly not be where I am now. She told me to keep doing what I'm doing. She also told me to view H as a "friend" since on a couple of occasions H told me that we were "just friends". I think that's good advice to look at him as a friend. We tend to treat friends better than our spouses in a way, so I hope viewing H as a "friend" will make it easier for me to be "friendly" towards him (not get upset about little things or have any kind of expectations). H seems distant tonight, so I'm staying out of his way. H did make one comment tonight that hurt. When I got home S4 was excited to see me and was talking and jumping around. H told him to calm down and said to me "I swear it's you" in a not-so-nice tone, implying that S4 gets 'crazy' and doesn't listen when I'm around. Hmm, maybe 'cause he's afraid to talk or be himself when it's only H in fear of getting in trouble? I didn't say anything, but he could tell I didn't like it. I think he tried to bait me to get defensive, but I just said it was nothing and walked away. So not so much of the strange positive behavior tonight. Oh well, I knew it wasn't going to last long anyway.
