Jimmy Carter has left the Southern Baptist Church because he can no longer bear its institutionalized sexism.
That gives me hope.

One day at a time, and a prayer request for Soul
With a lot of 12-step work and prayer, we are putting things back together. It's good. Growth is slow, mostly steady. Our days must look pretty uneventful from the outside, yet we are quietly doing the hardest work of our lives.
Christmas was simple and peaceful.
Early tomorrow morning, our dog Soul will have a tumor removed and sent for analysis. Please pray for Soul. He is a good dog and he's only 8. Heart is a very quiet dog tonight because there's no one to play with (cats don't count). She follows me from room to room, looking worried. Come to think of it, my spouse and I are doing that with each other, too.

Doing better
I tell you what, intensive 12-step work is the best. It really does change things.
A couple of years ago, I would have scorned talk of codependence, but it's what I have--and codependence is not caring too much: caring is something else entirely.
I'm stronger and moving in the directions I need to go. My marriage is healing, too.
Blessed Advent to all who read this.
