It is exciting to hear that you are having a great time. That sounds exactly what GAL is all about. Keep on keeping on and make some great new memories that you will look back on and make you smile.

Phoebe I'm so glad I've inspired you to do that. I've made lots of new memories with my bestest girlfriend. And I know that I'm going to be ok. I just hope this relaxed me comes home too!

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. On my way home now. I have had the greatest time. I have made a lot of new memories and although at times I have been plagued by a little sadness, it did ease. I had my mini breakdown and balled like a baby. But after that I seized every opportunity to enjoy myself. I have shopped like no tomorrow. Met great people, had my ego boosted by a lot of men. But most importantly I've actually had fun and realised life does go on. I think I've accepted that the person I have married has long gone. It's like it was a different person. And the person he is right now- I don't want that. I want someone who appreciates me for me.
I feel quite relaxed and contented, I hope this feeling stays. I've even got my appetite back! Ive been dark from h, he hasn't contacted me, and I resisted contacting him.

Wow, Cherry, that is a lot of progress. You sound like you are in a much better place now. Those new memories and good feelings that you've had over the last few days will be a resource for you to tap back into when things are difficult.
I hope that the rest of your trip home is enjoyable and that you get some good sleep at home.
