I'm glad you took it that way. It's how I intended it, but after I posted I was afraid you'd be offended - that I was making light when you're suffering. Sometimes it helps to take our eyes off our pain for a bit and focus on something more pleasant. Then we can relax and maybe new options or insights can appear.

Also, the character Matthew sounds very similar to my bf, but you wouldn't have known that. lol It's nice that you would like a low key kind of guy like that.

If your guy is like Matthew, he sounds like a keeper.

I guess I get so upset because I always had an idea of what my future husband was going to be like, I couldn't imagine that he'd have SZ. I was thinking I'd like a powerful, corporate type guy. But I also can't imagine my life any other way but WITH my bf.

I was thinking about you last night while I was driving home from work. I remembered something the mother of an autistic son told me. She compared finding out your child is autistic to planning a vacation trip to Rome then finding yourself in Bali instead. You went to the travel agent and got the brochures and planned your itinerary and packed your bags based on the Rome trip. But you step off the plane somewhere entirely different. You can rage against your fate or you can enjoy your stay in Bali.
I realize picking a husband is different than having a child. You don't get much choice in the latter. You have to take what you get. But it sounds like you're really into this guy. So you may have to give up on Rome and find a way to enjoy Bali.
