My husband and I have had our own difficulties and have had to learn and re-learn similar lessons. One of the hardest things for us to do is learn to balance our needs versus wants... and to remember that a short term gain can mean long term pain. It's been hard but we are learning. Thanks for your insight and I really like how you found lessons in the problems.
