So, Deb, you don't think you'll start a new post? Well, honey, we need you around here... your fresh perspective, so thought I'd start one for you.
Although no one thinks the OW situation is at all funny, when we finally get to the point that we can step back and find the situation funny, and have a grin about it, well, I think that is progress. Being stuck in the muck and mire of the ugliness of all of it is just TOO grim.
Laughing AT OW... well, I don't see that happening. And calling names is just a way of relieving tension. We ALL know and have been told numerous times that the OP is just a symptom... well, like rectal bleeding, that symptom can make you miserable!!
Deb, you are handling your incredibly stressful life with class and character. I know you, I know you would offer help to anyone that asked you.
Hang in there, girlfriend, and hang in HERE. Taking a break is GOOD, cause being here too much just focuses way too much attention on the sitch.
Your wonderful perspective is always needed.
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
