Itsy, I understand your leaving the board is getting on w/your life. I have left several times and just realized the other day that I've posting here for 9 years! I attempt to give the same advice, leave them alone, focus on you and pick up the pieces and try to move on. However, each individual is different and you have to help them as much as you can to get to the point of being okay with things.
Yes, it's rather sad when they go off and marry the op. I have seen my xh one time in 2005, and he looked very unhappy and depressed. His emails are not happy, but rather depressing and negative. But, I look at it this way....he's not driving me crazy constantly like he did back in 1999-2002!
Laughing hasn't been posting. She's still having a very, very difficult time with her xh. She's had many obstacles stand in her way, but she's a strong and independent woman and she's chipping away at them. I do hear from her periodically and I try to offer her some emotional support. She has earned her halo and wings walking on this earth.
