Thank you Adinva, it means a lot to me to hear from others who've been around longer than I have. I am such a typical Virgo: I need to know what's going to happen, I need to try to solve things in an organized way. I'm letting all of that go now, and though it is terrifying, it's also kind of a relief. I know it is not MY crisis, though I know I have done my fair share of wrongs in our R, but HIS crisis and it is spilling over into my life and the life of our S. I can take it, but I want to shelter our S as much as I possibly can.
