Hi JL. Glad to hear that you seem to be doing better. You seem to be heading in the right direction and taking control of your life.
You talk about your H running. Mine did the same thing. Ran away just taking a few clothes. Didn't tell me where he was living, or later, who with. I found everything out on my own and confronted him. I still don't know most of the things he has done this past year. He has some secret life, but openly takes her out so that friends and family have run into them. But he still hasn't introduced her to his Dad or Sister--doesn't even really talk about her, like she doesn't exist. I am sure that he will bring her out of the woodwork after the D. Like he's fooling people.
It's good that your H feels comfortable enough to talk on the phone with you for so long. And I also think that it's a good sign that he called to 'check up' on you. Hmmmm
Anyway, keep up the great work. Your PMA seems to be climbing back up. This is wonderful!
