I agree! I read in the DR book that sometimes, the initiator learns to regret their decision to end the marriage.

The ex still has stuff to pick up :(. There is still a twin bed that belongs to my stepson in my shed. The ex couldn't get to it because my brother's stuff was blocking the way. My brother finally moved out of my house but he, too, has to pick his stuff up...GEEZ, I should start charging rent.

Holidays are almost here. The ex and I didn't celebrate because we're not of the Christian belief system but we still managed to spend it with family. This year, I'm spending Christmas with my brother (the one who just moved out) and New Year's with my sis.

I'm wishing you, OldFool, and everyone else Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

All my best,
alamogirl
