frank_D!? No way. You're still on the boards? Wow you must be very accomplished at helping people. You joined when I'd been on nearly a year - I was calling4courage and later posted as march4th. I don't know if you remember me, doesn't matter. Anyway- wow. Weren't you successful & piecing? You were amazing and you were always so generous and patient with everyone.
Thanks for the kudos. I was 'successful' at piecing for about 6 months. In hindsight I realize that I wasn't 'piecing', I was 'fixing'. Ultimately it drained me to always be giving and never receiving what I needed. I spiraled into depression and started to drink in the evenings. STBX went back to her old ways, met a married guy on a band trip, had a EA with him and decided she wanted a divorce. Now she's out and has another OM who is a 'puppet'.
I let the anger and hurt affect me and I haven't really been helping people much on the board. I'm a lot better now but I don't feel like I'm in a place where I can contribute much in the way of positiveness so I mostly just follow people who I know.
Hope you are well. You have no idea how much I needed to read your post to me. I have my own thread in my sig.
