Out of the Abyss...

Hi Edie, thanks for visiting my thread - just catching up on you.

Wow... I can't believe we are in such similar situations. I'm coming up on 1 year since the bomb, 2 years since OW entered our lives. It is amazing how quickly time flies by isn't it? Does it go this quickly when you're not in 'crisis mode'? I don't even remember.

I'm so excited for both of you going to Retro! I look forward to seeing how it goes for you. It's interesting that you're both going in with the "knock off the fence" attitude as opposed to "save this M" - I think that's great and very healthy.

Edie - as for "another go" about the OW, I've been there done (and doing) that too. I'll suggest to you what I"m attempting to do, which is cut her out of your mind completely. You don't want her in your life, right? So stop thinking about her and bringing her into it. SDFoundGirl has posted a lot about this. Focus on what you DO want, not what you DON'T want. Easier said than done, I know, but it's helpful advice I think.
