Joanne, My Hs history sounds similar to yours. I think maybe they do have to do some hell raising to figure out what the fuss is NOT about... I know I did. Partied enough in HS to have had enough... But H was forced to be an adult when his dad left, something I WON'T do to my kids. Add that to NO role model for how to be a man and well, I guess I shoulda seen this coming.
Betsey! Can I live through you? Just for now?? I know things aren't moving fast enough for you... but, girlfriend, they are MOVING. You don't deserve the wait, but it sure makes life interesting, don't it??
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
