Just caught up on your thread right up to your recently posted update... wow, working thru the night does seem to have its + side.
Reading your +'s & -'s and compared to just over a month ago does tell a tale on how far you have come in just a short time. I remember how you were struggling to just get his attention ... competing with his laptop. Now coming home early daily for tea ... more conversation ... going to movies, planning trips, etc...
As you reflect upon the woman in the mirror, make sure to note your recent accomplishments and allow yourself to smile at your achievement. You deserve that recognition too.
