And now a hang-up??? Get caller ID, $3.95 a month here. Worth it.

I've been down that tunnel and it sucks.
I don't know exactly why, Sage, but for me I'm feeling those "twinges" less and less. Perhaps it's H planning my party, doing stuff. Saying ILY. etc.
But I think that it has more to do with the trust in MYSELF that I've discovered for the first time in my life these past several months.
It's the part of me that KNOWS that I can handle anything, that even if my H and OW were still in touch, I could handle it. It might mean the end of my M (maybe not, depends on the circumstances) but I can survive that, painful as it would be.
Having this basic self-trust takes some of the power away from the external world's ability to "harm us".
