The first 12 threads were on Newcomers. Then I realized I have been there twice as long as most of the "veterans" over there. The basics of my sitch are pretty typical. The details are up there. I am less than 2 weeks away from D being final, and there will be no last-minute reprieve this time. So this seemed to be the most appropriate home for me now. W and I don't interact much any more but it is not hostile in any way. I am moving on - literally. From Maine to Pennsylvania this September. I have accepted that I will be single soon and in many ways am looking forward to a new and fresh start. I'm optimistic about my future, even as I am still sad and angry about the events leading to the end of my precious M.

The thread title is still from Patty Griffin's "Mad Mission":

It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
Not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
Sign me up

Reaching for the loving cup again. As crazy as things have been, I still think loving and being loved is the most important mission in life. I am prepared to do everything I can to make it part of mine again. Sign me up.
