Heather, thanks so much for your post. I rarely think that my accomplishments are that big of a deal. Only when I look at it from other people prospective I realize that I did great. I was not homeless, I moved in with H, but I had to contribute to our life from day 1. After a couple of years I was making 2 ½ times more than him, and then I became a primary bread winner. We were able to move to CA from a least expensive state, we were able to go on vacations, we were able to buy “stuff”, we were able to buy that vacation home (which he wants to claim as his own now and wants to live there)… Sometimes I think that H married me knowing that I could provide this lifestyle for him, LOL. It is like a Russian bride in reverse. I had one great advantage though – education. My parents didn’t give me much love, but they made sure I had an education, and I will be forever grateful for that.

Thanks for asking about my dreams. I know I can dream bigger…

So, I’m going to my BIL (H’s brother) for Thanksgiving tomorrow. And my sister and her family are invited too. Isn’t it bizarre, LOL. My son is going to come over too after he and his GF go to her Dad’s house. I hope H is invited to somebody’s family’s dinner tomorrow. Still not the same as being with his family… But… at least he would not be alone.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
