You're so right about detaching - it really does suck. Although now H is out of the house and I'm not walking on eggshells all the time, I'm actually finding it a bit easier - as long as I don't have to talk to him about finances. That part really hurts.

Depression does as well. For my H, ADs are a deal breaker so I've never actually gone that route. Fortunately I've always been more in natural health and homeopathy so I chose to fight my depresson with natural products - and they're actually cheaper here than prescription meds. And I pass them off as vitamins and nutritionial supplements and H has never bothered to ask what exactly they are or what they're for. The things we do for love....

Don't worry about making mistakes. We all do it and we always will. We just have to make sure that we learn from our mistakes so we don't keep making the same ones. Why can't there be a manual for life - it would make things so much easier maybe.
