Hey..Jackie..been reading your posts..I know the pain of h leaving..if you have read mine..h is gone now 10months..at first I wanted to call..let him not forget me...then I backed off..and he came around a little..he started to do laundry here..then decided that it was not he space he had asked for..just sleeping somewhere ele..that hurt me, but it got easier..we don't have young kids, so we have no reason to talk much..BUT...I just read Teach's thread and she said that this whole thing has made her wake up and take charge of her own life..and I have to agree...I have changed so much about me and have seen h in a different way these past months that I took for granted. It is hard..and there are bad days...but go on with life..take it slow..but don't just sit around. your kids need you to be strong and happy. Take soe walks..do some stuff that you have put off. I have joined a book club..church stuff..I am losing weight..decorating the house. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I am going to live life to the fullest..it is too short and precious. Yesterday was our 25th anniv..I cried some tears as I thought about our vows so long ago..but I asked God for the strength to continue on.
