Warm hello to you Mermaid

I'm glad to hear that things have been falling into place for you, and also hope that your property will sell soon and at a price you are happy with.

I know the feeling. Wondering if it is/was MLC or not. But I also think that we tend to forget all the little things that point to something different than 'just wanting out'. The things that are radically different than the norm for mature, levelheaded adults.

I try not to over think my own situation, although there are times when it's very difficult to do so..even this late into the game. But the letting go has become increasingly easier. I'm going to be one of the ones that doesn't give up hope, but continues on with my own life, looking every once in awhile at what is going on. Having children together binds us whether one of us is happy about that or not. I have concern about his safety and health, but prayers are the only way I can express the love that still remains inside.

There has been no contact in almost the two years since the D. I hear snippets and a rare sighting now and then. I don't know all of what is happening and that's okay with me. I'm working on myself and finding my own self, which has been a good by product of this whole thing.

Social life?? What is a social life?? LOL I'm right there with you. My job does NOT equate with a social life. Weekends, nights, days...I tend to be scheduled all over the place. Definitely does not equate with having a healthy social life. But it is a job, which is much more fortunate than some people are dealing with, so I won't complain much.

I hope Mermaid that you'll stay in touch. It's so wonderful to hear from you and from others that were 'starting out' about the same time as myself. Its a relief to know that you are doing very well and taking care of yourself.
