Thanks, guys! We're back from almost 2 weeks in Vermont, where Lily had her first snow and mommy had her first walk in the woods in a long time. It was fabulous.
I'm typing around a sleeping tree frog, so this will be brief and full of typos... we're doing OK - the baby is thriving while my R with S. is hurting... we almst came to the point of saying forget it, let's figure out how to do this separately, but came back from the brink. Now we'er at the near-brink, hovering there like broken Weebles about to topple.
S. went back to work full time yesterday (4 days/wk until Jan, then 5 days/wk). He continues to blame me for most of his crap - it's my fault he lost money renovating and my fault he has to go back to work and my fault he doesn;t get to work on his own prjetcs anymore... his life is crap because of me. It's hard to take and I used to cry when he said it, but I've just started asking him how it could be different.
I know I'm being vague and I can;t get more specific until I have full use of my arms to type - - another thing he keeps doing is when I try to Act As If I get back "We're not in a normal R, Jennifer, we'r in a dysfunctional one, so things can't be that way..." and it's about to drive me up a tree. I talked to him about what i was trying to do but he seems mired in misery and so I'm about to just leave him there.
