I'm finally back online....been travelling, or not in a private place in which to post. I've missed the message board tremendously. You all are a life line to me.
I'm doing pretty well...good days, and bad days. I went on an antidepressant in October, and it took awhile, but now I once again see hope ahead.
After thinking I was a prisoner in my marriage, my A is now finally going out without me, so I have some me time, and I've been going out alone too. Sounds like a little thing, but for the past couple of years, he's been suspicious if I go the the store for a loaf of bread. But, mainly I think it's been me, and my rationalization. Now, I'm letting go a bit more, and caring less about how he reacts.
I read an article by Dr. Phil...and a phrase really caught my eye. Basically, he said that our husbands are not our fathers, and if he doesn't like what we do, "HE CAN GET GLAD IN THE SAME PANTS HE GOT MAD IN". Hope you like the quote ... it pops into my mind at the right moment.
