I have good relationships with most of my clients, but have a couple who I now consider friends. I had to go fix some server issues for one of these clients today. A couple years ago, she had asked about me, because I was having trouble returning her calls after my suicide attempt, so I told her all about my depression and attempt. She also knows that I have left The Princess.
She was asking today about how things were going, so I ended up telling her the whole story about my impending divorce, and The Princess' behaviour that lead up to it. She said a couple items of interest.
- When she found out that I have the boys every weekend, she said, "What parent doesn't want to spend some fun weekend time with their kids? I know it works out well for you, but that just shows how self-absorbed she is! Most people fight for weekends with their kids."
- "You look happier than I've seen you in a long time. It's obvious that you're back, and it's good to see!"
I keep discovering - and being surprised by - the good people I have in my life, but didn't notice before. I love my people!

Awesome validation from a friend... Nice of her to tell you.
I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

It is so awesome when "your people" are able to validate that you are doing well! I spend time with a couple who knew me and the Dooosh for years. I never really "hung" wih the husband until now, and even he recognized how well I am doing.
His exact words were what your friend said, "Purple! You are back!"
Awesome stuff pass. Keep it up!

Thanks y'all!
I still don't feel entirely "back" yet - and of course am hoping for a hell of a lot better than THAT - but it's nice to know I'm on the road.
I can't believe I spent so long cutting myself off from people. It's a fucking crime!
