You are really inspiring to me, Spartan. Those layers, ah, the layers!
Control was a hard one for me. Sadly, I don't think that short of this crazy bomb being thrown in my life, I would have been able to really let go of control to the extent I have already. Cheating husband, pregnant, crazy OW and OWH, No $ for second home...there is no way to control a thing. Nothing. Oh, I try here and there, but man.
