Hey A, wonderful news about the therapist. If she is a good one, she will work with you on payment. Mine did. In fact, she cut her regular cost by 2/3.

One step at a time, one moment sometimes.

I know about financial hardships. I am always one step away from living in a tent. But I always say it will be a pretty pink one. Sometimes you just have to roll with it for a bit.

You have so much to be thankful for. You're in school, your girls, your pets, your health, right?

Things could always be worse.

So, I think you not contacting your h is a good idea. Let him sit with what you wrote. Give him the space he has asked for. That is very important to MLCers, being heard. Even when you dont agree with what they are saying.

Try not to read into him not wearing his ring. They do that. They think that ending the marriage will make them happy. We all know it will not. But they have to figure that out.

This is all part of the process.

Please dont feel as if you dont count. I think he cares a great deal about you. He just doesnt love himself right now so he cant really see much else.

Try to be among people as much as you can. In whatever way you can. It helps.

Have a good night, sweetie. One foot in front of the other,ok?
