HWA..i just went back and read my previous threads too. I haven't done that at all. Didn't want to re-live that stuff. It did help reinforce how grateful I am for the support I received, the lessons i've learned and the friendships made. I look at the words on the screen and think there are real flesh and blood people hurting at the other end of those words. Its a sad place.

I'm glad you find my responses helpful.

For now things are OK for me. H definitely has some of his joy back since leaving his job. That has of course, created a whole new set of problems for us though. I have to raise some unpleasant financial issues which I never look forward to. It was H's big one. I control all "his" money. I guess its never a nice topic even at the best of times, so i'll try and use my best "I" messages and validation. I get a huge pain in the gut just thinking about it. Suck it up girl!!
