I want to go camping.

I'm loving your thread. So many great things to think about. I think that comment you received is probably one of the nicest things a person can say to another person. Especially if they're only an acquaintance. It shows how much positive energy you're radiating onto others.

I'm realizing now that I really need to continue to keep posting here because it does take a "village" to heal. And so many of you have been along with me on this crazy ride for a long time. And you continue to inspire me and help me lighten my load at times that it really is too heavy to bear.

I want you to know, bug, that I have always appreciated your straightforward approach with me. Your words have snapped me out of a lot of pity parties and helped me turn my focus back on the things that I can control. You're an amazing woman and have helped so many people along the way.

I can very much relate to the issues of not being able to have conversations with your H. I feel that I still have a long ways to go in having the conversations without letting my emotions take over. And H still has a long ways to go in being more open and communicating his thoughts. He will forever dodge what ever it is that makes him feel uncomfortable. And sadly some of that seems to now be rubbing off on me.

Congratulations on making such wonderful changes and doing it the right way... from within.
