Sketcher, I know what you mean about the lies. My h has told more than I care to count. Trying to cover up his relapses. The lies hurt way more than the relapses. At least you have your art as a healthy outlet for your feelings. I love a good painting, I'm not artsy at all. Not even crafts or anything. Not one of my talents I guess. I would love to see them if you could post them. Take care and keep focusing on you and the good things in your life. Thats all we can do. With love , Kerry
