You are very very functional. You just suffer with some depression. And also, you are very very smart. This is normal. You are getting some help. You also need some talk therapy, IMO. I am going for that, also. Maybe Charlie Brown is better at communication than Rex is, but I get crazy with Rex. It's like I give give give to the health needs of everyone around me, but my mental/emotional needs aren't met as much. I used to get mad at Rex for it - still do sometimes. But a lot of it is that he's just not as needy/deep emotionally as I am. I sense that you might go through that also? If so, don't hesitate to find someone who can give you 100% attention head wise so that you can get from your hubby the things that he CAN give you.<br><br>Did I say too much?<br><br>xoxoxoxox.

Even rubber bands have a limit to which they can be stretched before they break.<br><br>On the pooping front, may I suggest that you set up "sitting on the potty for five minutes" as part of the bedtime routine? It doesn't produce results all the time at our house, but MM will go much more regularly if he has a scheduled time to go.lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912958848312625029.post-57106578572138283572008-05-17T21:29:00.000-06:002008-05-17T21:29:00.000-06:00Feeling better is always a good thing *HUGS* do we...Feeling better is always a good thing *HUGS* do we need another girls night?
