Thanks Grace. Do you have a current thread? I can't seem to find one. Yes, things are pretty liveable right now so that makes this bearable.
Cat, I am feeling good for the most part and feel like I am finally living this detaching thing. I have been doing some reflecting this week and that statement I have seen once in awhile on here is such a good reminder - really, what is a couple years in the scope of a lifetime?
And I have looked back to the way things were around the bomb (6+ months ago) and even before, and things are better - he is not being mean and picking fights which is a big improvement. I no longer walk around with that constant ache in the pit of my stomach on the verge of tears. In fact, life otherwise is enjoyable! Of course I still have moments/days of being sad, mourning what is lost but that is natural and necessary. Now I can pick myself up pretty fast from it.
