Hi NW, Happy New Year to you as well. I agree, the holidays definitely mess with our emotions...that's the big benefit of the friends here - they can help get us back on track...
I don't think the possibility of my W being in MLC will change my plan of action much at all - since my focus still has to remain the same - improving myself, taking care of my kids - and loving her and letting go. The biggest impact of reading the MLC stuff might just be that I have a bit of a deeper acceptance of the fact that I can't do anything to change her mind or make her think differenty...all I can do is work on me - and make my life the best it could possibly be - and I need to keep that energy and drive permanent...not do it now, just because she is out of my life, but change in such a way that I could never go back to where I was before she decided to leave.
I've been having so much fun with my boys today...they decided to stay home for today - since we've all been gone for so long - so it looks like we'll head down to the parade floats tomorrow (maybe there will be smaller crowds then anyway).
How are you doing, NW? When will you get to see your boy again?
