Hi Lisa,

I'm fine, still working through a few things, but overall, doing pretty well. I'm still having problems with an over zealous xh, a.k.a. Dick. Like you, the connection still remains, only Dick is still very much in the angry mode, and from what I've gathered may be due to his/our inability to take responsibilities for his/our own actions. Although, this week I have noticed a shift, however, a rather expected shift which comes this time of year.... the old Christmas pattern has emerged.

Oh, I understand how you feel about having difficulties reading the new posters stories, the emotions are so raw, so new, yes, my heart breaks for them too. I can't open up to the threads either but once in a while, when I'm feeling okay.

As for your situation, which I wanted to reply to Imp right away, is now that I've had my mind opened up to MLC, or whatever it is, I've seen many marriages remain while the people have moved on in one way or another. There seems to remain a level of respect and love for each other, with a true understanding of what was, it just seems the people still want the best for each other, or take care of each other, a mutual kind of thing, yet, know on some level it just doesn't work with the two of them together in one house. Although there are two things in common with all the people I've heard from, they all say they don't know what the future will bring, and they seem comfortable with the situation they have now. Hey, I say, if it works, and no one is being hurt, why mess with it...

I hope you come back often and let us know how you are doing.

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Laughing
