Well, Easter is almost over. The second round of holidays has begun, and I am a little disappointed that I feel the way I do today. I thought that I had made a lot of progress of recovery, but today I have felt a lot of old feelings. Not really sure what to do with them except for riding them out.
So anyway, not really looking for any advice, just trying to vent.

It is no longer about the divorce or about her. It's all about how I live my life now.
Teddy: Your feelings are very normal. We've all been there. The first of everything was SO tough. And even some subsequent years. I remember second Christmas SO vividly. But it does get easier. Time really does heal all wounds. We might never forget but we do learn somehow to forgive and move forward. I had the toughest time with that. I was a SLOW learner.
Take comfort in the fact that it is really true that each year gets a little easier and you detach more.
Do something nice for yourself tonight - movie, glass of wine - bubble bath - whatever you enjoy the most.
hey there, holidays do have a whole new meaning, this is my first easter not going to IL with kids and H, I was mostly ok, though next tiem I'll go out instead of staying home to vacuum :P
For the next holiday plan something totally different that what you normally do, next easter when H takes the kids I will go to a local soup kitchen and volunteer, wont stay home like today.

I am glad to see you felt better by the evening. It is hard, no sugar coating it, but exactly like Braveheart says, there comes a time, when you do not link your ex w/ holidays, slowly, but it will happen. You will be making a lot of new memories.
Have a super week!
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
New memories are going to be MUCH better because of this.
