Oh Lisa. I so hear you. That same perfectionist lives within me and I have been able to keep her more at work and less at home than I used to. Its funny but its only now I realise how difficult being neurotic is on those we love.

After being through the same struggle you have been through (PTSD aside) I recognise how great of an achievement what you are saying is. Well done ! And to be able to admit it is even greater!
