Riding the storm out, or at least trying to!

Wow Tvs, the pain is so deep, isn't it?

I hurt for you just reading your relating these things. And all the while being a star mommy and keeping the house together too!

Idk how you can do it each day!

I do remember the intense pain from last summer and fall & winter. But you know
what? It's fading. Kinda like the pain from childbirth fades after you are holding the wonderful baby and its growing. You just think about the baby not the pain.

And you have new issues to deal with.

The pain fades a little bit every time H reaches for me, kisses me just b/c he sees me, or when he tells me his plans and is following up on his promises.

It fades a little bit when I look at myself and see how I've changed and grown and learned.

And yes, each of our H's will have to learn to say "no" to someone else or risk being in the power of somebody else their whole lives.

What I don't get is ... if they are so weak ... why are they so dam good at saying no to us???
