Kim,
Thank you for your kind words. I feel like I am doing things so much more effectively now. But, it helps to get the reassurance, that's for sure!
I read your "excellent example to your boys" quote, and I must admit, I felt a huge pang of guilt. This must be the "overwhelming" feeling my H spoke of last night. I know I need to get past that, but to think that I put my own stupid needs (well, what I THOUGHT were my needs) ahead of theirs just makes me ill. I justified things at the time by telling myself that I was never taking any time away from them...I only made plans or talked on the phone when they weren't around. Well, that's not good enough. Honestly, though, I feel I needed to go through all of that stuff to get to where I am today. So, I need to keep working on forgiving myself. One positive, it makes it easier to forgive my H! Now I know a lot of where he's coming from, you know?

Anyway, you really didn't say where you stand now with your sitch. I hope you're in a good place. I will try to find your thread later to see what is going on.
Thanks for visiting! I have the best group here anyone could ask for!!!
