Bear....I was in tears reading your post. Your response to SG.
I feel so warm and fuzzy inside right now because I finally hear you speaking about yourself like this. I know what your H has done to you, I feel it as deeply as you do.
I know what it means in your soul to love someone that much. But the truth is you need to now put that love and energy into yourself. For the first time I see you ready to do that and I am so proud of you. I hope that does not sound condescending...it is certainly not intended that way. You should be proud of yourself.

Better is already coming your way simply by virtue of your choice to focus on yourself.
And you know what? For now, that something better doesn't have to be 'someone' better. Enjoy this time getting to know yourself again. This has been the most the amazing part of my journey.
This won't break us Bear....we won't let it.

I love ya so much!!!
