Sounds like you are broadening your horizons and starting to GAL. Congratulations! I hope that someday I can be as strong as you. Right now I am just pathetic, hoping the last 5 months is just a nightmare and I will wake up. And my husband will be the old person I know, and want me to be close with him instead of pushing me away.
It sounds like your self esteem has been in the toilet for the last 4 months. I am sorry that this has happened to you. I hope that your W wakes up soon to what she is losing. I hope that you find some comfort in your trip to nature tomorrow.
