Yes... The hardest part is remembering that I'm stepping back for my own well-being (and therefore should continue), rather than stepping back to make a point (and thus should stop).
It's funny how we sometimes have to remind our selves why we made certain decisions. LOL
What you said above is something I actually have to remind myself about H. He is stepping back to take better care of himself, something I don't think he's ever known how to do. EVER. I think there are some days he is actually doing it to make a point and those are the days he's short and aloof.
Anyway, I find it interesting that we often need to remember WHY we are doing what we're doing. Good for you, Maybell.
And like Claire, I have had a few ROAR moments. I think it's hard NOT to when all this stuff is going on and you have kids. Our natural instinct is to protect and preserve at ANY expense.
