Trying to Build it Better and Stronger

[cat03]

can I go if she says no? j/k! hope she says yes

as an ACOA I can tell you it's either: you choose to forget (maybe it was easier for me since the real bad stuff happened I was pretty small, only remember some things) or you hurt yourself over and over, reliving the pain, guess your W is on the 2nd category.
If you find a good book sit with her and read it to her, provided of course she says yes. I can read a book w/H that way, if I know he isnt' too hot about reading it (I got a cute illustrated shorten version of the Mars-Venus book and we used to read 2or 3 pgs together, he'd groan a bit but listened.

I will give you brownie points for all the work you've done!! it's christmas at home if my H actually does the vacuum or dishes (his 2 chores) by the 3rd time I ask, (do not under any circumstances go to my back yard, oy!)

I hear you about being exausted by trying to deal w/depression, it's like we have our hands cut off and can't do a thing, which we really can't, we can only stand by and listen and hope they feel better eventually.
