((Brandi)) I hope you both are resolving this issue. It sounds like a hard one. I lived in Alaska for many years and a lot of women had husbands who worked on the slope for very long periods at a time. Some found it after they got used to it to be very liberating. I know you can't imagine it ever feeling like that, but you never know. Sometimes things happen in my life to force me to go beyond my safety zone, to help me progress.
My thoughts will be with you. Good luck! Annie
