Thanks, DMR - keep focused on the job. I know for me, it's an important thing to build back confidence when it's beaten down from all this DB business. My new co-workers value me and of course have no idea I have all this crap in the background. The kids are the other saviours for me - one of them tonight asked if I sleep in a different room so I don't wake mommy up in the mornings. It was sweet and made me think that maybe the younger ones don't notice as much as I thought. Their love and innocence has been a life saver - literally.
By the way, DMR, feel free to post your woes on this thread - it's not fair for me to have the monopoly on woeful stories here. Always nice to hear from a fellow geek.
CHL, the hug is much appreciated and I send one back - one can never get enough of those and it's one thing I miss dearly from my W. Thankfully, the kids have lots to give. Feel free to chime in with part of your story if you like, or let me know if you have your own Newcomer thread. And if you haven't posted one yet, you should - the responses here have made me feel better already and very welcome here.
I will post more later, but need to go to bed. Cheers!
