For some of us who have been through the wringer, a time of intense pleasure has become a pain and loneliness. For others in the middle of it, tensions will run high. Let's all try to be mindful and extra supportive of one another during the next few months. Keep the alcohol under control. Don't let her or your MIL get under your skin. Koosfrabah.

Find the joy where we can and celebrate the good memories, while working to make new ones.

Please post any tips or stories.
