BUNS, ABS, AND HEART OF STEEL #3

[Lord Grenville]

Ex retreating back in his shell.

...My relationship with God is fabulous.
I am being pursued by a European man.
My self-esteem is slowly coming back.
My kids respect me.
I am being recognized for certain projects at work that have been very successful.

THERE IS LIFE AFTER THIS CRAP

I am so happy for you, Trusting!

Your post has lifted my spirits, and reminded me that we might all be experiencing adventures we never dreamed of just a few years ago.

Yes - it has required journeying through much pain and fear, but in many ways, the good in life will be more vivid and meaningful to us as it arrives. I have been noticing how beautiful the tree canopies are as their branches sway in the breezes. It's as if my appreciation for their beauty has increased this year. Little things like that are encouraging.

Now - to swing to polar opposite:

I wonder if your H is going quiet because he is acquiescing to the bimbo out of fear that he may lose her, after losing you already? Being left alone to face the destruction he has wrought would be a terrifying prospect.
