If the point of all this is to "outlast the mlc" while taking advantage of the gift of time, then I only hope that my efforts yield me respect, love and happiness, no matter the outcome.
I just want what's best for me, and my kids, as does everyone else here going through this unbelievable turmoil. I would never have guessed one day I would say Idly to my H, nor will I, but it is exactly how I feel.
From what I'm reading I guess I'm in a normal stage of my LBS and this too will evolve into something healthier and more productive for everyone involved. I just really can't see myself going back to the pain - even if I have to sacrifice the R 100 percent and not know H anymore on any level.
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
