Dear Midip,

It's great to get your news. It feels like reading something that's been written on the other side of the divide and not knowing whether or not I'll ever get there.

I must say that I'm so impressed with how you seem to be managing it all. Does it feel unreal at times? Does it ever seem as if it was all a bad dream? Are you on your guard or do you feel pretty secure about H being back home for good? How do you feel about OW?

I'd also like to know how to be less parental in my R with H so let me know if you gain any insights on that. I think it's great that you managed not to rescue the kids. I have a hard time with that.

Keep up the good work. You really are an inspiration.

XOXO Wendy
