Ditto, suzy... and it really does feel great to feel this way. Who'd a thunk??

I still have my moments of sadness....like when D8 crawled on my lap on my b-day and said if he could have one witsh it would be to have his family back. No way that wasn't going to make me sad.
And I still deal with some anger. I think if X would admit that he had an affair (instead of spending the last year lying that they were just friends) and simply say he was sorry, I would be able to forgive easier. It is sooooo hard to forgive someone who says they have done nothing wrong and blames you for everything!!!!!
But 90% of the time I enjoy my new life and feel so very blessed. I would never go back to the extremely dysfunctional relationship we had. And he is someone I could never trust or respect again, so here we are. I have made so many positive changes in my life and am finally the person I used to be, fun and easygoing, not depressed, anxious and unhappy.
