Hi Hope,

Things are really getting better for me personally. I still do get down on occasions, but then I think of all the positives to look forward to. I think (like u) I am more angry at the way it happened than the actual break up....if u know what I mean.

I don't think I will get any closure until XW concedes the truth to her family and friends in regards to why she did the things she did (keeping OM a secret for several months and blaming me for everything). I asked her a while ago if she will ever let me get closure by telling me the truth, and she said "Maybe someday".

On a brighter note \:\)

I am off "house hunting" this morning with my sister. I have found a beautiful place on the Northern Beaches (North Sydney), and you pretty much have the waves hitting your back door \:\) I am keeping it a secret from DD (she is a real water baby, and loves the beach), she will really freak out when she walks into her new bedroom with the beach outside her window.

Work is going great, a few of the cases that I have been involved with are going to trial (always exciting stuff to get a result). DD is doing really well at school. Would u believe she has taken up Cricket as a sport.........

Still "consolidating" my life before I decide to start a new R. My morals and values are the same as yours, I won't be doing anything until the D is legal and I have settled into my new place, and my new "lifestyle".

Apart from going through a divorce, everything else is great.....go figure \:\)

Hope, no matter how awful it feels, it can never get as bad as what we have gone through........and can only get better......much better.

And thank u too for always being there \:\)
Andy
