Resonates with me, Heavy. Heading out to a family BBQ right now, which on the one hand is affirming and good for me. But on the other, it's hard even to see my own siblings with their intact families, while my WW has gone off into her MLC spin. I mean, my sister is a recovering alcoholic who has fallen off the wagon twice in her life, once while pregnant with the ninth of her 11 children, who has practically financially ruined her family many times, even when technically sober... and her husband has stayed steadfast and loved her right on through, when hardly any of us would have faulted him for leaving. Makes me wonder... how can this be possible for my W to leave me over so little?

Anyway, thinking of you today... hang in there.
