TripleJ- That post did wonders for my pma, so thank you. I am not quite so far that I think he left "just because." My behavior and lack of self-control had alot to do with it. I'm actually glad I know what happened on my end. Truthfully (although I might never admit it aloud) I think he did the right thing for us at the time. I wish I had been calmer in those first weeks, and given him more space - but no sense in living in the past. Thank you for the reassurance that it's going to feel weird for awhile. Actually, hearing that it's not all wine and roses when the WAS comes home is going to help me remember to keep DB'ing, and to keep up my PMA. I keep telling myself "I can do this" and "Think solutions, not problems." Okay - now exit stage left to update myself on your sitch and thread. (((((((((TripleJ)))))))) You really made my day! Myrrh
