It really is funny how when you finally begin to detach the feelings of do I really even want this guy start popping up from time to time. I think I'm most sick of the games (like feigning interest in the kids or posting crap on FB trying to get my attention). The more authentic your own life becomes (no longer covering up a bad marriage for example) the less you tolerate this kind of thing. Congrats to you on the garage door! I have had many of those moments in the last few months and they are empowering. My D13 has been installing things around the house and I see the confidence this has given him too.
