Terri,
I remember you were going to a business seminar. Hope that is going or went well!
This may not be a direct fit for your situation, but I was thinking some of the concepts discussed might be very helpful to you. I had mentioned this before.
A lot of people have told me to focus more on me. I was given this advice, but it never really clicked until I got involved in this 12 step support group. The focus of this group is for spouses, or family members of a person who has an unhealthy attitude or has acted out in an unhealthy way, sexually. The exact extent of this condition can be debated & there are certainly a lot of negative connotation that could be assigned to this condition, but the support group can be very helpful to a person in their recovery process. It can be very helpful to us, BS’s in how we are coping with the behavioral, acting that out our S has exhibited.
To register online & receive or be involved with this does not require any disclosure of the facts of your situation & it is autonomous, so you don’t have anything to lose if you want to check it out. You may want to learn more about what is all about before you actually register, & even if you don’t register, which would give you automatic updates via email, and ability to interact with others, I believe you can visit the sight & observe the posts – most of these are very motivational or inspirational & offer reinforcement to us (BS) that we are still very worthwhile people!<p>This whole topic is quite involved & too complicated for me to adequately explain at this time, but if you care to check it out, you will get the gist.

Peace be with you,
