Perils of piecing - thread 8

[may22]

Hi Alison,

Your post above really made me happy-- you deserve to have those feelings of being valued and accepted and loved among friends and family. I hope you and your eldest enjoyed some nice time together too.

And I'd like to know how to bring that better, happier, more honest and interesting and okay-with-being-real-and-vulnerable self to my marriage, but I don't know how.

The only thing I would say to this is-- it is OK that you can't see the way on this right now. Who could??? You've gone through so much and are still going through and processing all of it. It's OK. Give yourself a break and time and be patient with yourself. You deserve that.
