that's amazing! you almost had me crying, how wonderful!!
Yes, detaching is the only way to bring out the real confident you who can wait out for WAS without despair. I think i've detached 99%, just now and then I ask myself if I should be waiting out any longer. My H still has major issues and is getting used to taking paxil and Adderall, which adds an interesting mix to the sitch.
We did go out for V day yesterday (he can't come tomorrow) we had a great time, much better than our anniversary dinner. There was no R talk at all, I was debating between saying something or not. Last week he told me he still felt detached and empty, not able to give anything to himself or others.
God is keeping me strong, I pray that one day I can be as happy as you and have my H back, that I hold out long enough.
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
