I don't know your sitch as I have not been to your thread but I really appreciate you posting to me. I'll try to catch up on some threads when I get back home.
I'm so sorry about the death's in your family!! That is so sad!!! I do know some of the hardships with that, I lost my favorite Aunt & my brother with in 2 months. It was really tough so I do know how hard it is.
This has been a tough year & it happened so fast for me. My H told me he wanted a D & then filed the very next week & I had no ideal anything was wrong! It about blew me away.
I'm doing ok with the 180's, not quite there yet but I'm trying. I went to lunch today with a friend & I'm going to a party tomorrow afternoon/evening. I'm still praying for my xh but I'm trying not to focus on him all the time. When I think about him & the past I just say "H, I forgive you" so the light is still on but I'm trying to do things for me right now.
2009 has got to be better for all of us!!!! You are in my thoughts & prayers with all the death's & sickness in your family. I'm sure this holiday was especially rough.
