I'm relieved, for your and Jake's sake, to hear that the divorce was less dysfunctional than the job situation, but sorry to hear that at least parts of the dream-job situation were so dysfunctional/creepy.

It was sad, and it shook me as one who believed things always moved forward, always progressed.<br /><br />My whole world reeled when we decided separating was what we both needed.

Cal told me you'd raised your head in a public way so I wanted to use the mod account to say hello publicly as well.<br /><br />I am so proud of you, and I love you.

Sounds like you're bouncing back,though, which is good (and not surprising) to hear. <br /><br />I dunno what's going on here. Maybe it's dying; maybe it's resting; maybe it's just summer.
