T, even when I think back to my dark days after BD, I still have some sweet memories and good humor in the ways I coped. My BFF and I took several road trips, we would have Friday night dinners and our own crazy dance (wine) parties, and sometimes we just let ourselves laugh at what a chit-show my life was turning out to be (on the surface anyhow)! I never thought I would, but now I totally, cherish those moments and bursts of relief that I had in that time. I miss some of them actually. I hope you can create some of those for yourself now too--here on the boards and in your RL.
Yes, yes and yes. SO MUCH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
