So happy for you it almost hurts!!!!!! I think you are handling things fantastically not only in your interactions with H but your new self confidence and strength. You've come so far since your first or second thread! You should really be proud of that! Clothes can be empowering! They define who we are or who we want the world to see us as. You yourself said you wore blacks and greys before and now you're not trying to hide! Our horoscope a few months ago said that in a by next fall we'd have come so far changed so much we wouldn't recognise ourselves similar to what happened in 93/94. For me in those years I came out of an ugly duckling phase, started a new school, and became really popular. So I think that now we'll look back regardless of the outcome of our sitches and not recognize that depressed sad person that we used to be!
