Thank you hope...it is very kind of you to stop by my thread when i know that you are going through so much with your own sitch.

I can definitely see why she might have picked up on my aunt being my "mother." And like i said, so many things that she said, my aunt has said to me. It was very hard to swallow, though, when she told me that my H could be a sociopath. I think i can deal with a narcissist. When i mentioned to her that my H used to do things with my mother, just the 2 of them, she said of course he did...he needed to learn as much about my relationship with my mother so he could sever it, as he wanted me all to himself. and that he isolated me from my family. But, that wasn't really true. He always went to family functions with me with no complaint (unless it was on a sunday during football season). He also hung out with certain members of my family on his own (like my cousin's husband). There would be no reason to try to sever that R. So, some of what she said i really didn't believe. At any rate, i have been thinking a lot about what she said, as painful as it was to hear. It was interesting though that she never mentioned anything about an ow. The interesting thing was, when we first sat down, she said my grandmother was there and that my grandmother was saying something like "why aren't you married, but what's the rush to get married." And i was like, i am married, but separated. So, she said oh, i read it wrong...this is an on-again, off-again R...and that it was "what was the rush to get married?" I think i might have volunteered too much information that she could have used...i never should have said anything about being separated and see what she said. But, too late now.

Hope - are you doing anything for yourself this weekend? I hope so. I've been thinking about going to the spa for a massage...i could use it!

Thinking of you and hope that you are doing well, or as best as you can be doing given this sitch.
