"...but sadly, I have a long way to go, I fear. I don't really know why I still have hope, but in my heart, I do. I'm cautiously moving forward though, that's good."
Hey Jane,
Just checking on you! One day at a time, my friend. I'm proud of you! If you are anything like me, you will get discouraged, get pissed...then start fighting for your S all over again. Don't be afraid to have hope! One of the moderators (I forget who) said, "Have as much hope as your heart can hold."
My close friends start saying, "Don't get your hopes up..." My response is, "If I'm going to be hurting, I might as well be working to get my wife back!"
Sorry about your clingy mom..LOL. Ya gotta love 'em!! As far as the H goes, patience and more patience. These things take awhile.
Hey, my W sent me a thank-you card yesterday (I gave her a novel to read). We have been sharing books. The card said, "Thanks for the book!..I send my good uplifting thoughts your way."
Kinda nice, I guess. She has been very adamant about wanting the D and says she wants me to do well in my life. Not mean at all. Pretty discouraging there. She very calmly tells me to "let me go". But she admitted to having good contacts with me and "making new memories". What do you think about the mixed messages as a (former)WAW?
