Maybell, that's encouraging, thank you. I admire your strength on your journey. It means a lot to me that you impart your wisdom on me.

You too, uRworthy, it means the world to me that you stop by and take an interest in helping me see this all for what it is. Man it's hard. Alarmingly hard. But if you're excited for me, I can't help but be a little, too.

Claire, I have tears! Good tears. What kind and supportive things to say. I used to just pooh pooh compliments like yours but if I honor what I've been through I can say, holy chit it was hard doing what I had to do at 16 years old. And it's hard doing similar work now.

If I'm honest with myself, I've had A and some of B done for years. Not sure that's a win because after that I had no idea HOW to make meaningful changes that could turn my marriage around. Instead I stood there stumped and resentful expecting him to do his share. What a missed opportunity. But, yes, I would say I'm at C.

Huh, that IS kinda huge. Yeah. Definitely nothing to overlook. Thanks for pointing that out, Claire. Wow. That's big. I'll take that realization, thank you.

Huh. That feels good. Still a long way to go of course... A lifetime no less but it's good to have people who can point out your strengths because I'll tell ya, I've been staring at my weaknesses for a little while now under a 100,000x power microscope and it's refreshing to see some strengths too.

Thank you, Claire, so much!
