		<description><![CDATA[I've been putting off writing this post, but I finally realized that it just might help exorcise the dull ache in my chest to tell the story and write out the feelings that go along with it. A lot of people have been wondering if I am okay.  I am, if by "okay" you mean functioning.  I can work, walk the dog, eat, sleep, and do my job.  I can even pour myself into my job in a way that seems to be working.  The people I work for have been appreciating the extra effort and my openness, which feels good.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lettingeachothergo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=817377&amp;post=69&amp;subd=lettingeachothergo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been months since I updated here. Mostly things have been hard. Bup isn&#8217;t using street drugs, but he is drinking and there have been several major negative consequences&#8211;more arrests, fines, a near-eviction, and the loss of a job opportunity&#8211;all directly connected to Bup and his behavior. After the job interview disaster&#8211;a long story [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lettingeachothergo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=817377&amp;post=63&amp;subd=lettingeachothergo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
