> I understand why you need that. And yes, on the boards you are more self-confident and tend to argue less (especially on admin) --- although I must admit, I loved when someone decided to challenge you. I loved how you replied, with wit, intelligence and the like.
Thanks. I'm still tempted occasionally. But I close the posting window in the middle more often now. :)
>> So I have received that validation, and that is nice. I know what you mean when you say you feel lighter. Yes, that is so true. Life is less of a burden. I'm not carrying around so much baggage --- except those last dark crevices that I need to clean out and those last 10 pounds I'd love to lose!!
I'm glad you've had that validation and that you're feeling lighter, too. I used to think that no matter how many places I set that baggage down, it always seemed to chase me down and leap back on. Baggage, step away from the person! :) And yes, those dark crevices...mine need light yet.

> Maybe your husband doesn't like all the changes, or wishes the changes were different. Ask him if you seem lighter in tone?I think I will. Or maybe I'll just let it be, knowing that I know how I feel, and that's enough. Of course, I'd love to ask my T which way is "the right way". Learning to tolerate uncertainty has been tough.
Thanks again for your feedback and for sharing your own progress.
