I knew coming back here was the right thing to do. I could feel myself gaining strength with every word I read. It brings tears to my eyes that everyone here can be so optimistic, and positive in the middle of such turmoil. But then again, I am learning that we are the lucky ones, it is our spouses/x-spouses who have the longer road to travel. Some of us are just starting our journey, some are well on the road, and some of us have already reached our destination. But the point is, we all got on that road, and we kept moving. It is the ones who stall out in MLC and make no effort to keep the traffic flowing that end up living a life of misery.
It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Kissak- It is unfair, but I have learned that they aren't actually going anywhere when they profess to have moved on, it's just an optical illusion created from watching their wheels spin in place.
Lissie-You are such a kind and wonderful woman. I have stopped into the boards from time to time just to read your threads. I miss you too, and I will take you up on that offer to call you sometime. I really enjoyed our chat last time, you have a very calming effect.
Was2-Oh how I've missed you! I know I'm not your only girl, but you make every one of us feel so special. Your posts always seem like insights into the soul. Ever think about writing for a new branch of Hallmark cards? You know, the new one that will market cards specifically to those poor souls who have had their lives touched by MLC?
myturnnow-I have a feeling signing on that dotted line will release me. It's good to hear it from someone who's been there. A cyber hug is always needed, and always appreciated. Thanks.
Always-The baby does let me go. It was the one thing I knew when this all started that I wouldn't be able to move past. Sometimes I feel like it's God's final push to get me to move forward. And as much as I do view it as more sordid drama, I know in my heart it is his problem, and it can't really hurt me or my kids.
