Lizzy...thanks for the support. My sister has actually been quite supportive...moreso than ever before in our lives. In fact somehow this whole thing has brought us closer together (even though she lives in Houston, Texas and I'm in Toronto, Canada). She had the best of intentions, but her delivery as well as some of the content was a little unnecessary. I'm feeling better about the conversation right now though and I talked to her last night and it wasn't brought up at all. In fact I spent almost 2 hours listening to her go on about her woes with her teenage daughter. It was nice to turn the tables and be there for her for a change! Plus...it is helping me not to dwell on my H by not talking about it as much.
Blinsided...I know how hard it is to 'let go of the rope'. You've been doing so well lately and I'm really happy to see the progress you're making. I just read on someone else's post that "Hanging on IS throwing in the towel". Basically, if you're hanging on to them, then you're contributing to the M NOT reconciling. It made so much sense when I read it that way!! I'm actually starting to feel GOOD about letting H go. It's starting to feel like the right thing to do. Him being gone isn't right. Him doing what he's doing isn't right. But me TRULY letting him go and GAL is the right thing to do and the fact that it's starting to feel good to realize that is amazing to me. Who knows how I'll feel tomorrow...but I'll go with that for today!!
Anyway, it was nice to hear you guys say that I've helped others. I appreciate it. What I need to do is start to take some of my own advice!
Gotta go get D from school. J~
