she told me over and over that everyone has issues, everyone has skeletons and that my being forthright and totally open about what the whole story is was honorable and brave and made her respect me more than she already did. i almost was crying at that point.
I may or may not have shed a tear with this update. YES, it is true that we all have skeletons in our closets. It's what we DO about them and how we handle them that is a true test of our moral character.
I'd chalk this up to a victory.
(And I'll try to pop you that email tonight.
