Oh dear, Pockett Dessert. I felt every word in this essay. It is amazing how many of us relate to what you went through.

You identify the secret ingredient perfectly, love ourselves first and always rather than abandon all to love and yes, usually, try and fix the other.

Remove all stops to try and make them happier and therefore better.

And it never works, yet this time we think it will. So abandon another piece of yourself as you go along…

You wrote this so beautifully and authentically. I am sending you hugs. Baskets full.
