You and I both need to learn how to take it easy on ourselves. I think when you're married to an abusive d-bag...I think the wearing away of our self-esteem is just as insidious as the disease of alcoholism...just as cunning and baffling.

I think it's going to take some time to reverse the damage done. Be kind to yourself Brook. You are amazing :-)
