Mules, You sound so relaxed and on your game right now. Hard to imagine that you would be here a year ago. We are taking our middle son down to college on Weds. Very gut-wrenching to think about him leaving. Aren't you heading to Kiawah soon?
Cheers
Hey Coach - Yup - heading down on Thursday. Not 100% sure though. S11 is saying he'd rather stay home, so we are a little in limbo/ I know, bad choice of words, but I feel like the President of Limboland.
It is unbelievable to think that I would be here. In fact a year ago today was the final day in the dreaded Lake George trip, which was really the final straw for me.
Good call, I really do feel on top of my game. Finally. It seems weird to be posting on a marriage saving site knowing I didn't save my M. But I guess I know that unfortunately, many will be going down the same road and maybe it is helpful for them to hear that there is life after all this. That it does go on. I want any newbies to know that I did not want a D. Worked as hard as I possibly could to not go that route. Was on this site in some very dark times in my life. Didn't think I would be able to get through it. And that DBing does work in many different forms. I made a ton of mistakes like we all do throughout the process. But the WAS/MLCs, whatever you want to classify them are very fragile. Letting go of the rope and detaching in my opinion is the best possible thing you can do. And it is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.
In my case, I felt I had exhausted all options, and was left with no choice but to take the path I did. I am now sure that this path was best for me and my children.
Strength and Honor.
Middle son to college?? Man coach, you are old..It must be tough to think about and bring up a lot of emotions, but one thing I know for sure: You can handle it..
