Yes 25, I am taking a breather from the big picture and trying to just manage where my thoughts go and my attitude.
Right now, I know I will be happier a few years from now regardless of the outcome. I feel compelled to get the lessons and make progress. Anyone who goes through all of this and doesn't "get" their own responsibility for their happiness, is well, SVON. Honestly, I really took a hit the way this sitch went down (I'm realizing that it has been a long, slow, demoralizing separation for many years)...I have the resources and strength and belief system to thrive, just have to refuel and pull myself up.
My challenge right now is really redirecting my thoughts and it requires surprising discipline as I am really noticing how easy it is to slip. This is my baby step for now.
You are a very generous soul giving your time and wisdom as you do.
