Oh, thank GOD you're back, Mer. Truth be told, if Betsey is taking a break from the BB (which will suck, because she is a HUGE inspiration), it is because she got BLASTED at a point when she felt (realistically) that she was doing pretty well. She is doing a hell of a job at being a mother to her girls, pretty much alone, and one HELL of a job being a loving wife to her H. The strength it takes NOT to lose it even occasionally is HUGE - I read the post to her, and I got mad too. It doesn't help.
Those feelings are the ones I am trying to leave behind, because they DON'T WORK. But when I am trying to do that, somebody telling me I should let my anger out generally does NOT help. It stirs up feelings I have to work really hard to control.
Posts like that one are the reason I had to stop talking to my family and friends about my sitch. All they do is screw me up, and sway me from my goals. And i don't need that from ANYONE.
Betsey, I stick to my original feelings that you were doing great. When I first read the post, it came off a lot like a flame (albeit a well-worded one). It was a lot of psychobabble, and not a lot of DB, I don't think.
If we can't vent about our spouses and sitches here, where can we vent?

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
