I can't add to your post or even comment except to say that I know exactly how you're feeling, I know what you're saying. I could have written those words myself... if I were feeling eloquent enough for that (and frankly, today, well, not so eloquent).
I'm right there with you girl. My M has also been in shambles for 2 years and my H is wandering round the county, never mind the yard.
The time for questions is here for me too. My H called me today and we had a pretty good chat, considering his reason for calling was more about the D papers... and he can't tell me why he wants a D when 2 months ago he did not. It is the effort that seems so damn hard for them.
So Mr. W is showing some reconnection. And Betsey's waiting to see what's what.
I'm not feeling down either.
I'm thinking that fat lady should be run out of town. I hope you are well Betsey. You're an inspiration to many, for many reasons and the admirable job you're doing of standing for your M is but one.
