Your honesty and openness just about broke my heart. You are such a loving, caring person. If I could hug you right now, this moment, I would! There's nothing I can add to what my sisters here have already said, but I can link with them, arm to arm, and surround you with our love--a healing circle, if you will.
Dixie,
I'm just about to go to my appointment with my husband's therapist and I wanted to write a reply quickly and thank you for your words. It made me think about the love and support that I offer so freely and you're right, at times I feel that it goes unappreciated and that he hasn't thought of what it would be like to have to live the "old way," hiding this part of himself, being alone and feeling lonely, and NOT having a wife who not only encourages him to do things to make himself happy and feel whole but who participates in this adventure with him. Your words made me think of a few more things I'd like to say in the session. I have been struggling lately with my own feelings and I'm trying my best to work through them. This I do for the love of this man. He is special and I want to know that he sees me in the same light. Thanks for your continued support. You can climb up on your soapbox any time honey! I'm off now and I will let you all know how things go, once my brain stops going in circles. Hugs to you all,
