I have only backed off from friends because I do feel that I need to regroup. I really regressed when he backed out of coming home a few weeks back. This past weekend I felt like I was losing my mind. I know everyone in this site feels that way at times, so I feel bad even typing it. I just needed to breathe a bit. Reading has helped me do that. I mainly do that in the evening time while the kids are all playing together. That is the other reason I need to refocus. I have 4 children depending on me.
GAL is not to difficult. But the biggest stress in my life is financials. It has been for some time. He feels it too. It's really why we fight to be honest.
