Thanks everyone. Especially you, Amy. You jumped on my first thread and helped me so much. I hope you're right about all this. As usual, you're more perceptive than me.
Quote: This is very extraordinary and I'd caution you to not suspect it as much as you should be thankful for it.
You're right. This is damned hard.
Quote: You know my story so it's pretty dramatic to switch like that AND FOLLOW THROUGH. If it's not genuine, she won't hold up long. It should not take you forever to trust her again. If after several weeks, she still acting this way, you need to be thanking God for the blessing.
Yeah, I'm really realizing why taking it slow is not an option...it's just the way it is. I also (thanks to you) realize that if I don't appreciate it, she'll give up eventually and get discouraged. I don't want that.
Quote: As for all the time it took you to "detach"...the damnedest thing I've seen is that there aren't any instructions as to how to "RE-attach".
BINGO! As usual, you're my hero. You understand this so well. It's the hardest part of all. I NEVER get faced with things I don't have a plan for, or get confused. I appreciate you and everyone else slapping me 'cross the head when I need it.
Amy, you're a blessing.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. -- Inigo Montoya, 'The Princess Bride'
