Over the Shock and GALing 6

[antlers]

She has even encouraged my to 'move on' and find someone else and "learn from your experiences and don't make the same mistakes"! I don't feel like much of a 'success' right now.

ps - Thank You givingitmyall for being here and responding. I'm hurting a lot right now.

I'm sorry to hear that Antlers. Those comments in particular are hurtful because she is saying that you haven't learned yet - when we all know you have been doing just that.

Take care of yourself.

Yep, I have. But it means nothing to her. "You are still the same manipulative person that you have always been. You haven't changed and you never will. It's all about you."
It's almost like she needs to keep herself convinced of that in order to justify her actions. It seems like she needs to keep hating me to make herself feel better about what she is doing.

I'll continue to do my best. I tried hard, and then became able, to stay positive through the separation by making changes in how I think about things and becoming mentally and physically strong.
