Awww Gwen - I just want to jump through the screen and give you a hug ....a very gentle one
You and I started this journey at the same time and I feel so akin to you Gwen, you have supported me all the way through. So to hear you are down and not doing well really makes me sad.
First of all - I am wishing you a speedy recovery from your injury.
Second - Your boss is an a'hole - sorry, but that's the truth of it. You did not intentionally damage yourself, so to penalise you for it is totally out of order. I really hope it does not come to losing your job over it, I am appalled that that may even be an option.
Thrid - Gwen, half of me is cheering you from the sidelines - to make the mental leap to complete detachment is a huge step. To go forwards with your own life not having your h clouding any thoughts is where we strive to get to. The other half of me is worried for you - you are sounding hard, like all walls are firmly up. I get that you are disappointed, sad and angry that life has come to this, that your h has let you down on all levels, but please don't take this forward with you. Some men- like our h's - are just emotionally retarded and may never be able to connect to us on a level that we are worthy of, I feel sorry for them as they are the ones missing out.
You are a survivor Gwen, you have never accepted defeat as an option, so keep going my friend, get over this (massive) speed bump and see what is around the next corner. I am right behind you
