Hi prodigalwife, just wanted to tell you that I am very proud of what you and I both have accomplished in our lives. It is hard to come to this board not knowing how we will be received by the others. Most want to hear our viewpoints, but a few will be resentful toward us b/c of their hurt.
I was never in a PA, but just being in an EA over the internet (no less) was hard enough for me! I am approaching my 3 month anniversay of no contact with OM. So, I am happy about that. I did go through a "grieving" period and it was very hard. It was the addiction withdrawals. Still sometimes, I am a little tempted to just call him and see how he is doing, but I know that would be the beginning of a mess to correct all over again and it was hard enough the first time. It was the "emotional" connection that we made and his feeding my ego that was addictive. I know that I am not in love with him and that he is only what I imagined him to be in my mind.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that you are not alone here as a "prodigal wife" and that you are to be congratulated on your advances you have made. Great news about the baby!
Any time you need to chat, come visit me on the SSM forum. Keep up the good work.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
