I was chopping an onion this afternoon, and my eyes started to water uncontrollably. DH offered to take over and I said "but then we'd both be crying". Then we looked at eachother and reaized that neither one of us has cried in over a month.That's a record since our blended family blew up in May 2022. I know there will still be bumps, and I know DH still has a lot of processing to do in terms of his family, but our current state of detachment from his family is pure bliss.
