You are a wonderful, strong person, and I hope that even if she can't respect you, yourealize that we here certainly do, and we se a lot of folks come through here... HUGGGSSSSSSS, dear, and hold your head up.

Yes, I am excited about her interest. It's a dance to encourage her without pushing so hard she fights back. I'm working on my own change now though. I
have to make a living. Your response is very nurturing and reassuring. I appreciate your words so much. I feel like I've taken a big step toward being able to protect and nurture myself. My goal is to be independent emotionally and materially. The trick is not to change her but to learn autonomy.
