You forgot the resolution about not being so hard on yourself.;) *hugs* I am pulling rank as your lj friend who no doubt has known you the longest (although not the best, since Monica wins that;). I am glad to see hope in this post, but I wish for you to be gentler to yourself when you see things you find lacking.
Your capacity for compassion and knowing the good in others is beyond measure, no one knows this first hand more than I do, as you were the only one who refused to pick up those figurative stones and throw them my direction when all around you felt the moral superiority to do so. Even in your youth your kindess and way of seeing more than just what was on the surface was tremendous. My wish is that you will turn that compassion and forgiveness towards yourself.
Relationships are never a smooth road, at least not the interesting and worthwhile ones. You are right that Monica is worth it, but remember that so are *you* and I am sure she feels that way too.
Embrace your gal, your kids, your new professional path, and your renewed committment to your health, and know that you are TRULY one of the good ones, and you deserve so much happiness.
I love you little Deanster, and will settle for nothing less than the best for you. *hugs*
