State of Mind

[fooled again]

You know, whatisis, I get the same thing. I had one friend who would get pissed off at me b/c I was not being mean, vengeful or inconsiderate to my H. She insisted that my ONLY course of action should be to push my H completely out of my life, have nothing at all to do with him, not talk to him, not see him, and she encouraged me to go out and find someone else right away. I even had an IC who suggested the very same thing.

And I guess since we live in such a 'disposable' society, for many people the attitude is "if it's broken, throw it out", whether it's a blender or a marriage. It's a really sad world we live in, but it makes me proud to know that there are many, many of us out there who think differently. And you know, I have learned more about myself from this process of DBing than I ever could have had my M continued along w/out any problems. I wish that I could have come by this knowledge without the pain I've had to endure, but I am becoming a much stronger, more self aware, more confident person in the process - hopefully a better mom too.

Here's another great quote, this one's from Marcel Proust:
"We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us."
