I like this. It's like self validation.

I think I will add the things I know she's done to extend herself to all of us and cope.

My fear is, just SELF affirmation will polarize my thinking.

She's vulnerable.

I was able to progress in my career along the way too. Things like that were never celebrated because, as she said, it's a reminder she's been dead weight for a long time by comparison. My career progression in part off set our lost income.

The energy for others is infuriating, but she is finally able to leave the house regularly.

I helped her find health answers along the way, but she went through a large surgery in May that finally propelled things forward.

Thank you
