RCR,

I haven't posted in awhile. I have been trying to work on GAL and taking a break from the bb.

I have been re-reading all of your posts and taking in all of your wonderful advice. I want to thank you for everything. I hope you realize how much you have helped me to heal. You have a way of making me see things so much clearer.

I am feeling so much stronger lately. Sitting back looking at my sitch and knowing deep down inside that my H is the one who is losing out. I am proud of my accomplishments and how I am responding to him. However, still working on my wording b/c in the past I know I have come across somewhat passive and "doormatish".

I feel confident that I will be okay, but at the same time sad about the loss of my M and best friend.

This weekend H is taking d7 for the day with his family to MIL's cottage to celebrate MIL's birthday. Ow is going too.... Sigh... \:\(

This is something WE always did together. We spent many days over the past 11 years at MIL's cottage. This was a memory for US and now Ow is going to be SHARING that with him and the kids.
It bothers me and makes me sad that I am not going to be a part of this weekend.

However, I refuse to let it get to me. I'm going to try to stay busy and do something fun for me.

BTW- they are also getting a new family picture done for MIL's birthday gift. D7 told me about it and then H gave me d7's outfit for the picture the other day so I could pack it for her. I just smiled and commented on how pretty the blouse was.
He is so insensitive. Me on the otherhand act like I am just fine when inside I am crying.

Hugs,
K
