I know the feeling of reality smacking me in the face...especially when it came to my husband and his mistreatment of me. For years, it was just "the way of living". I didn't think much of it, although I didn't enjoy it.

I can relate, Tree. I really, really can. The awful feeling of giving up so much of my life...the example we were showing our daughter...It was all so difficult to accept....

I also know how hard it is for such huge things to be stirred up and not have T right there when we need them! ((( BIG HUGS )))
