Quote: so, somebody out there, if you have time to read this, help me get my head on straight. It is really tough. and probably going to be until I get the taxes done and can put these old reminders away. Have I just been fooling myself that things are better? Am I still being strung along?
Deb, things are much, much better in your sitch and the positives leap off the page all the time! Please don't let your unpleasant trip down memory lane cloud your vision and make you start looking under rocks again ("I thought he avoided looking at me, almost as if from guilt. " ) You will drive yourself into a frenzy and then REACT in a way that telegraphs the "same old, same old". Don't go there.
How can you make going thru the taxes easier on you? Can h help? Have you gotten thru the worst part? Remember that feelings are just feelings and DO NOT require action or reaction...ok?
What's working for you SO WELL is not bringing up ow and not questioning h and not poking at stuff...keep it up!
