I love hearing about it, I have to live vicariously through someone. There's no possible happiness over here so it's nice to see that someone around here is getting there!
Mish, it's not all roses and not 100% happy at all times. The mind plays some serious games with you at the point where I am at right now and brings a whole new meaning to walking on eggshells.
Like I was trying to tell you, I'd look at is Gabe spent time with Marc instead of broom and her son, GOOD THING.
I think the hardest thing for a WAS to do is swallow their pride and admit they were wrong. In looking at my (x)W, it looks like there's 3 stages. 1-to them selves and pause to heal/console themselves. 2-To us the LBS, then pause again to affirm themselves they have made the right choice and just haven't confused themselves, again. 3-(and where we're at now), to all the friends and family, probably the hardest part, after all the re-writing history and falicies that they spewed out to validate what they were doing (especially in the instance of an A).
Personally, from what you are saying and how he is acting recently, I give serious thought to Gabe being well in step 1 above. Are you at all prepared for step 2?
