It's WONDERFUL to hear from you.I agree we have an unforgettable bond..one that carried us through the darkest days of our lives. It pleases me so very much to hear how happy you & your H are together and that your marriage is one of deep love and mutual respect. I have had my ups and downs in terms of my own post traumatic stress reaction.I have been working through it gradually, as it presents itself in feelings and memories.It has not been easy, since it has been compounded by problems my young adolescent boys are having... that I feel are directly related to our past marital problems.I find myself resenting and blaming my H for this which doesn't help matters. He is loving and committed to our marriage....but some times I feel that I have aged considerably and that I am not the same person.Some of the changes are positive,but many are due to my isolating from old friends,etc. I find myself snapping at my H and engaging in negative behaviors,because I am just so frustrated about the children,etc and his passivity in dealing w them. JW...I envy your stage in life,where you can enjoy your grandchild and each other without the stresses of teenagers in the home. I think it's so important that we stay in touch as we go through this "post" DB period.It's helpful to know that most of us are experiencing similar issues. Hugs to you....Jenny
