Albac broken but pushing forward

[ForGump]

CT1118 -- the word "bleak" was originally used by JRuss so please go kick his ass, not mine. Seriously -- JRuss used "bleak" to describe the relationship we have with our WW's, if we are to believe Sandi's description of WW's mental state. JRuss did not use that term necessarily to refer to each of our futures.

And I agree with that -- I think the odds of us avoiding D and getting our W's back are bleak, but I don't think our future is necessarily bleak.

I do agree w/ you on the term LBS. I think there is some utility to using the label, because when Bomb Drops happen, many of us are surprised and emotionally, and sometimes physically "left behind" by the spouse who has moved on in her/his wayward direction. But, as you pointed out, many (most?) of us recover from that initial shellshock, begin DB-ing, and find a direction for ourselves. So maybe as we get our sh!t together and find our own direction, we shouldn't keep using LBS to refer to ourselves.
