K4D It's a Wonderful Life

[ClingingToHope]

I think W is struggling, but coming around slowly. The thawing is happening. We will see what the rest of the holidays bring.

Not to dampen your spirit, but you said W didn't have much to say to you tonight. What do you see that leads you to believe she is coming around slowly?

You are a little farther along than I am. I've been out seven months and I tend to convince myself it's a matter of time, it's a matter of time.

A friend of mine in Virginia, who got divorced a year ago, said even today when he sees his ex, he could pick out something if he really tried hard enough that would lead him to believe someday they'll reconcile.

He said it's a fool's game. Accept your life for what it is today and don't look so hard for clues. You'll most likely just hurt your own efforts at detaching.

I know the success stories on here give you, me, everyone hope. But there are thousands who disappear from the boards or move over to surviving the D.

The odds are against us.
