Thank you for the good thoughts everyone. Last night was my office christmas party and this afternoon I have one for my Mom's family to attend with the kids. Keeping busy does help.

He did get away with it that night, but he won't again- at least with me. *Part of me wants to report him for assault, at least to the establishment where I met him at. I'm sure that wasn't the first time he pulled that on a woman. All I know is his first name tho, and I won't get far with just that, but maybe he could be blackballed or something if they can figure out who he is. *The other part of me says just forget it and move on, lesson learned. And that's what I'm going with. And discovered a topic of discussion with the IC- why the he!! don't I feel anything about it other than kicking myself? Just like with H, I'm not feeling the rage, it bugs me somehow, but no anger. Am I just that good at burying it?- because I can't find it.
It's been onwards to more pleasant adventures this weekend- Christmas, New Years, and good times with reconnected friends and new friends. And looking for my new "normal"!
