More detachment, anxiety and the joys of limbo

[Painter]

Phoebe, I didn't want to say anything about it not lasting when you posted about your really good day, but the important thing is that you now know you can feel that way and you will again. This is temporary. I remember when my son was a baby and screamed at night, I was walking up and down the floor with him for what seemed like hours, and kept saying 'It's not going to be like this when he's 18, it's not going to be like this when he's 18'.

Have you checked about getting a massage (or five)? Also, I wouldn't do Carnation - I'd go for chocolate ice cream. Smoothies are also great, you can stuff a lot of nutrition in a very tasty drink. And add chocolate ice cream.

I'm glad you got good and useful information from the L. Does this mean you may file? That's a big decision. It's so difficult, because you should protect yourself financially, but for us LBS's, it feels like such an emotional decision and message, as well... I know it was so hard for me to even consider moving forward, because I felt like it made me responsible for ending the M. But it doesn't, the WAS ended the M when they left for the OP.
