Sally, I was taking a break, too, and wondered where you were when I came back this week. Weird, isn't it, our uncanny timing?

Sorry that the possibility of reconciling seemed to shrivel up on you--I was so hopeful with you, and impressed in how you handled that. I have never even gotten that consideration, although I will count myself lucky in that, since I don't think I would have survived it not working out. I still struggle with the detachment thing, but at least I stopped calling him.

I have only recently, and I mean recently, been able to say out loud that I will be divorced. It will probably be over by the end of the month, actually. And I am just sad about it, but not devestated. You and I are both going to end up ok, even if in a very different place than what we thought.

I hope that the mediation works out for you--it is a lot less expensive that indiv Ls.

I was thinking about taking a trip up to Boston this week (spring break) to get to the aquarium, etc., with the kids for a day trip--let me know if you'd like to get together.

(((M))) Missed you, too.
