bttrfly, I was frantically searching for your thread and thought I'd lost it--I was hoping for an update on your pup. Is she doing okay this week? I'll be thinking of your family on evacuation watch too. So many people and animals on my mind. Yes, I should add H to that prayer list and just let it all go. I know. Some days are harder than others to still be living with him. I have no doubt it drags my grieving process out.

I'm so sorry to hear that OW is now emailing you and that exh has won your therapist's award. It sounds like OW might be up for a prize too. I'll miss your threads here but count myself lucky that I have your posts on my threads to go back and read, and will count myself luckier still if you are present here from time to time. Your words have helped me so much, bttrfly. I'll be thinking of you and the guidance you've given me every time I pick up my three-sectioned notebook.

I think if his pain didn't go away with that letter, with his decision to D, and if it doesn't go away as long as this D process goes on, he'll see that as my fault. And if the pattern on every single thread here holds, his pain will not go away simply because he's decided to end our M.

Pray for him and take care of me. Pray for him and take care of me.

bttrfly, I'll be praying for you and your son. I hope you'll pop in at some point to update me on the chickens. xoxo
