I do not know how you successful LBSs handled this. I'm just at 7 1/2 months and I'm still having days like this. Dottie, the DB counselor, said if I wanted my marriage to work, I needed to strap in and be prepared to wait 18 months or longer for this to work.
I don't know if I have that kind of strength.
My heart goes out to you buddy; I know just how you feel. How will this end? When will it end? It seems interminable.
When I first came on this site and people were talking about “detaching” I couldn’t imagine how in the world I could do that. But I’ve done it. Still, however my sitch turns out, I know it’s going to be a long road. And I still have moments when I don’t think I have the strength to face what will undoubtedly be months and months of this sitch.
In those moments I remind myself that “this, too, shall pass”. We’ll come out of this, CTH. We aren’t the first to travel this road. Others have made it through. So can we. Believe that.
