Sotto- thanks I feel the same way about friendly comments here or there but I do get too easily drawn in he is the only man I have ever loved and so much of my feelings of my value and worth are tied up with him. I do know I am a fantastic mom - the fact that all the kids have been so supportive of me and are all living with me (wait a minute maybe not so fantastic if the 20 something boys haven't moved out of the nest?) I also know I am great at my profession and that is rewarding but...... The man I spent my life with, who knew me inside and out has completely rejected me
