Thanks for the update Raine. It sounds like your H is really coming along. So nice to hear of you two holding hands, dancing at a concert, relaxing in bed together.
What a difference a couple of months has made!
This is so interesting:"In the car he said that tonight, the night of the concert he felt more like himself than he has in a very long time, but that it's not himself. It's not his old self, and he can never go back to being that person again. And he said he couldn't articulate what he was trying to say, so I jumped in. I said, "Do you mean there are parts of you old self and new parts that are coming together to form the real self?"
that's a good explation you gave him. I wonder if all mLCers feel like that while they are ending the crisis - more like their old self but not exactly.... And I wonder how WE will feel when it's done. Like you saying you realized you thought you'd dealt with some internal things, then realized that you hadn't. What sort of things do you mean? I guess it's important to work it all out now, to our own satisfaction, to try to avoid falling into those same marital bear traps!
How old is your baby now? Are the big ones back in school?
