Hi Deb-

Well you made my day again! I have been ill this week. Nothing terribly serious. My H has made a point of taking care of me. I think it's very nice and I make sure to tell him so. He's been taking me to doctors (oooo, I hate going) and picking up food for me, etc.

We did have an incident a while ago. We were plugging along for a while when H suddenly went back into the tunnel of MLC. Oh man, I started to feel all those aweful powerless feelings but (so proud here) only for an instant. No tears, no trying to reason with him, I simply told him that I would be seeing an attorney and let him know what would be coming next. I had no expectations....none. And then, viola, H seemed to straighten right up. That's been about a month and a half ago. I did in fact see an attorney that day and then went shopping! (Felt so much better.)

I have been thinking that I should post to my own thread and get some greatly needed advice about getting him to counseling. He has promised but nothing yet. I know that it will not help to push....ugh.

Anyway, hope that this is making sense, pain meds and all! I'll check in again tomorrow. Thanks for the smile Deb!

Dawn
