Shining, Just caught up on your sitch ... Ts'd had me read a portion on some homework ... then as my addictive personality commands ... I was captivated by your story and the journey you have been on. Similar to mine .. however reading yours I realized ... I have lost a chunk of my sense of humor .. something I thought I would be buried with.
I like you do not do well currently when I see W, something about it .. like all my feelings are still there, sometimes more intensive than others, and just like you touched on .. the cycle .. theirs and ours .. its brutal. Just when I am PMA high and feeling good, somehow I get sucked into the MLC tornado and am left dazed and confused.
Anyways .... no wisdom from me to add .. just observations .. you have this. You are a very strong person, hang in there.... you got this.
