If you figure anything out on GAL with a little one, let me know. I have a two year old, and it's very difficult because I am torn between spending time with her the 2-3 hours we have each night, and trying to go out and do things for me (I consider spending time with her as doing something for me too!). I'm especially at a loss now that everything is closed. I ended up going for a walk at about 11:30 last night just to get some exercise in.

Hang in there.


Thanks, Captain. I feel similar, the man my H is now is not the sweet, loyal man I married. It’s difficult for me to like him as he is now. Sometimes, a glimpse of his old personality peaks through and it’s hard not to see it as refreshing.

It truly is hard to GAL with a young child. I’ve been trying to connect with other moms in my city using an app. Before BD, when my H started being a jerk and was going out a lot and I was expressing that I was sad he was doing so, he made a comment that he wished I had more friends. Those words keep ringing in my head and it would be nice to have some other people to relate to, so that is one way I’m working on GAL at the moment. Hoping to eventually have a meet up with new friends and can take the baby!
