Hey JV. First thing. Thank you for going back to school! You making that decision was the catalyst for me doing the same. You inspired me and I thought "I can do that too!". This past Tuesday I signed up for the first two courses leading to a Web Design certificate. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Secondly, ((((((((((((JV)))))))))))). I know that the decision not to have your H back wasn't made easily. Your sitch has been anything but easy and I really do applaud you for having the strength to do what you have done. Now, having said that (yes there is a "but") I thought I'd throw out another possibility....and I say this only because I suffered with this and didn't even know it.....is there any possibility that maybe you could have post-partum depression? Let me try to explain myself - if I can. After I had S3 I thought I was fine. I carried on "as usual", Happy Scotti! but looking back I know I wasn't fine and I wasn't happy. Because I wasn't "well" my M suffered big time and I believe that is part of the reason I'm here on the BB. Your sitch has been going on for a long time and having a baby on top of everything else isn't easy. I'm just saying that maybe it might be a good idea to speak to your GP. Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzz, I'm really not sure I'm getting across what I mean.......I just want you to be ok JV, with you, with H and with any decisions you make. I know I could most definitely be WAY off but it was just something that occured to me and I hope you don't take it the wrong way. I guess I just want you to be very sure. You've worked so hard at DBing and inspired so many of us.

[sigh] I hope this all made sense. Take care of yourself. Please understand that I'm not pointing fingers or suggesting that you are making a bad decision. Only JV knows what's best for JV.

BTW, dodgermf, seems to me I've seen that book too...

Cheers, Scottisheart
