Hey GAG..I think I found you at last! Is this yuor current thread?
You probably know from my thread, but I would say that extended friends and family were HUGELY beneficial to my sitch and even pivotal to him feeling comfortable to come back (but they do have to WANT to, as I have said before, the love has to still be there)... but, its all part of that smooth and paved path home.
I kept in touch with SIL purely because I wanted to keep connections to his family.. and of course they report back, so its a good opportunity to DB! Look your best, be positive.. and I always talked about bf in a vague way, with a big smile as though he was still in my life and all was cool.. it encourages them to open up and give you valuable insight too, so if they know anything they are more likely to help.
