I have been remiss in posting over here - my own dark is going incredibly well. W still drops little fluffy texts - I did respond to one text, but just to pass along something for my dad.
I am now at about 23 days or so - so far I have initiated conversations probably 2-3 times ALWAYS for the kids.
I am now going darks' biggest cheerleader. It has done wonders for me, and a beautiful benefit is that it has bugged the CRAP out of W.
Best of all, I have gotten to the point where I don't CARE if W is bugged or not - it simply is a side benefit, really.
I have my moments - I still do miss here, and am sad about the things my kids are going through.
But it's starting to kind of look like I'm looking back at something at a distance.
Quick note to Kassie - hang tough, keep dark. It was almost unbearably hard for me initially. Tawnya can tell you about a couple of horrible days I went through, but man, it is a cleansing fire that makes you tough!
I'm certainly not out of the woods - but this going dark process has been AMAZING!
