The daily work of piecing

[Heartbroken]

Hello,

I just went to find my thread and realized it was locked! I am still out here daily - just not posting to my own sitch (have not since 12/27/07). Hard to post as changes are not as fast as when we were in crisis mode.

Things are going great - some days better than others but we are doing a helluva a lot better than last year at this time - he moved out to that apt 2/23/07 and the kids and I hated that time.

We have not been doing our Retro writing but we do talk A LOT!! Last weekend he admitted he still has bouts of sadness - guilt at breaking up OW's family (like she did not have a hand in it too) and guilt for all the hurt he has caused me/us.

But we got through that weekend - actually took the kids for two days of skiing and he realizes how much he would have lost had he continued with the D. He now knows he'd be giving away FOUR years of time with the kids if he only saw them part time...he has these eye openers more so now as he continues to come out of "the fog".

I as doing okay too - getting better at handling my OW "sightings" at the school but that should end this year as my youngest moves into the middle school next year (and OW stays at the elem - YEAH!!!!!).

We are planning a ton of boating trips this year - already have a slip booked in Milwaukee for the July 4th week!! YEAH!!

All in all things are more positive than negative and we continue working on the new R we now have. Yes we lost some of that innocence but I truly belive (like I always did) that we will be better b/c of all this.

Happy Monday everyone!!
