I agree with everyone, thank you. In fact, thanks to your encouragement I put my foot down and set boundaries, asked questions and said a lot of stuff that I was afraid to say, such as we have kids and you still havevtesponsibilities around here, and that you are not going to saddle me with all the pain and responsibilities while you go play.

What I said I believe made him see me with respect for the first time in a while. I felt empowered again, evennif just for a minute, it felt good.

It's going to be a long year, but at least we got a plan and a promise to communicate, and to be able to live our lives without worrying about, and be supportive of each other, most just one way!
