Thanks, Dee. I do think a lot of people actually feel this way. However, articulating it can be especially difficult at times. This was not an easy post to write.

“…it’s not something I can ever describe to Apollo (my wonderful husband), despite wishing to. I may have to point him to this post.“

Shortly after this experience Eileen started calling me Apollo and referring to herself as Athena. I didn’t think the comparisons were inappropriate at all.
