Totally not a hijack. Dawgy - I have responded to your thread.
I think total separation can be a gift. It can cause the mask to start to slip. More importantly, it can finally allow for real healing of the left behind spouse.
I'm still in limbo-land with no movement as far as I can tell. We're back to ignoring the elephant in the room. BUT - I'm doing some GAL. Some days are better than others.
Maybell, Labug...You guys rock.
Dawgy - Hang in there, buddy. You rock, too - but you're going to need your strength for you in the next few days.
