What LoisB said is true, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Expect to have days where you succeed and days where you don't do so well. Learn from the bad days so you can enjoy success down the road.

BTW, Happy belated Birthday to you. Imagine we're sitting somewhere with glasses of some celebratory beverage, and 'clink!', we just toasted to your birthday. Take care . .

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I am going to work up the energy and fortitude to invite some friends over one of these afternoons or evenings, I just want it to be FUN, not whispered conversations while my son is sitting in the next room.

I know it's a marathon. I also feel like since my H has this list of his resentments based on something I did ONCE or TWICE in 16 years, that everytime I mess up it's just going on that pile of "things he will never get over". Who knows though, his brain is so addled maybe he will forget these blow ups a lot faster than I will. Hopefully the confusion and poor short term memory will work in my favor here.
