I don't want to be D, either, Claire. My new job has given me a different perspective of myself, they don't know anything about Mr. Perfect, about my M, about my D. They see me as a single mom, which is true, but I find a hard label to accept. But I absolutely don't want to be M to Mr. Perfect anymore, hands down, if he wanted me back I'd say no without a second's hesitation. And so I see "single mom" as a temporary status, one that gets me where I'm going. In a year I might feel differently, might embrace "single mom" as who I want to be. But for now, it helps to see it as a stepping stone to the love of my life. I can't find him if I'm still M to Mr. Perfect.
Other than my rambly paragraph, I'll just wish you a great weekend, Clarie, and say I'm thankful for you and for MB and for Betsey and so many others over here on Surviving.
