I came here to "lighten up," my answer and I see in a certain way, Copa did that beautifully. Just because something might be difficult, doesn't mean it is Impossible. Additionally, I've been married for over 30 years and I can tell you that there were one or two very rough periods. Very. My husband is a sweetheart, but certain things like our Difficult Child, threw us into chaos at times. We went to counseling even during times that we weren't arguing. But, when I think about those few VERY BAD times and the gazillion difficult times. I'm sure glad we stuck it out. In fact, difficult times are to be expected and surmounted. Therapy was the best thing for us. A discovery, learning and growth opportunity. Of course, just like we often say with our diff. children, each person must have the desire to want a healthy relationship. With that desire, willingness and a little help as needed...much can be accomplished.
