Hi mtn,

Thanks for stopping by my thread. I have been following your posts. I feel like we are in some of the same places with the things we are doing in our situations. It sounds like you are doing good trying to keep positive so keep that up. I know its not easy to do. And I understand what you mean about not being able to show any positive changes you are making bc of being separated, but I find it helpful to remember that these changes I am making are for me too and to look at how I have felt good/better bc of them.

How do you find it talking about the situation with FIL? Do you find it helpful at all? My MIL calls every week to 'check' on me, I guess she's trying to be supportive but I feel like she just reports back to H saying things like I'm 'better now'(as if!!) She doesn't see things the same way as me and I feel like her advice is what got H to move out completely in the first place as she kept telling him why is he still there(in the house) he's making it worse for me, etc.

Try to stay busy with your GAL activities and stay positive!
