ckcowl - the fact that you went back to your room and tidied things up and got the space into a workable state is a clear indication of your strength and perseverance. You are amazing. I'm so pleased that you have a support system there, and your husband's right - it's okay to step away sometimes. It's important for you to take care of yourself, let things go if you need to and celebrate small victories (not always easy, I know). Thinking of you today.
