FY, I'm glad to read that you and your family had a nice Christmas. Yes, your w is doing the best she can and she'll continue to make progress in 2014. I know it gets frustrating at times, but her crisis didn't happen in a blink of the eye and it will take just as long to recover from it.
It's good that you are getting out and having some fun time on your own. It helps to rebuild your PMA and keep you going when things are a bit tough in your home environment. It's a good way to relieve the stress and tension.
Well, that was a surprise! Inviting you to a birthday party next weekend. I would go. No, my man, you aren't cooties. You've come a long way since that time. Go and have some fun! This may be the beginning of her heart melting and I don't want to see you lose out on that beginning.
Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
