Marisol, everyone on this stich wants the same as your last paragraph states. I know how difficult it is and sometimes my emotions are twisted up inside but every day we can work on our M through the strategies we are learning we have a better chance.

I have been working on GAL, I go to the gym during lunch usually 5 days a week. I have been doing yoga/weights and I feel better physically and now I am working on my self esteem and keeping my mind busy. I lost about 30 lbs and I have more to go so if any good came out of this I am finally taking care of myself. I have always had a weight problem but I am really working at it. Otherwise I would be home sitting there watching TV and crying eating a bag of chips. I tried to turn this around doing something positive in spite of what H actions to his family.

My D15 is sick today and I had to pick her up from school. When I got her she said don't tell Dad I am sick because I do not want him to come over. I have to respect her wishes right now.

I have been re-reading some of the old posts. T2L you have given us much good advice. I am taking some of the good stuff and putting it into a folder to read when I am down. I think I will call it T2Lisms...DB tricks, quotes, prayers -- a little bit of everything. We need to stay focused especially with the holidays coming and I know that will be tough for all of us.

Good luck.
