Thanks for your support Lou. It gets lonely when your H is a vanisher. I don't really envy the folks on here who have to deal with lots of drama but sometimes I have to admit that negative attention sounds better than no attention. Of course that isn't true but the isolation and indifference is tough.

The job situation is my biggest fear. A friend got me the temp gig and I am very excited about it because it will give me recent experience and I can learn some new skills. She also referred me for the permanent job. I probably won't know for at least a week but I am okay if it doesn't work out. The temporary job is great way to build confidence and I am nervous about everything these days.

I honestly feel like I have PTSD or something. Loe - you are right just try to keep moving forward a tiny step at a time.
