Coly23-- I ain't got much to say, but just wanted to wish you some peace.

My IC mentioned that studies have shown that, on average, divorces are more traumatic for people than wartime PTSD. Something like that.

I'm trying to think of when I cried. Back in 2009 when I found out that my brother had a drug problem. 2010 when my Dad died: I found myself crying at random times, when he'd come to mind. And now, at random times, when I think of what all this means for my kids.

There's no shame in crying. We're all just trying to do the right thing. The pain is unbearable.
