Just caught your latest thread - sounds like fun over there. Last year when I first came here - I was with a fun group like that and they pulled me out of a dark hole - but I miss them.(i don't think most on here anymore) I left for awhile b/c it looked as though things were getting better. Now they aren't.
I did like your insight about the fear - I was never one to have any fear in my life until my current marriage. Don't know if it has to do with age or the situation. Been working on getting over the fear part - trying to make decisions not about the fear. Some days I see more clearly than others. Some days I feel stronger than others. Right now, H and I are not having any contact per my request. I am tired of the anger, the self centeredness and immaturity.
The family situation just magnified my fears hundred fold. Still trying to take one day at a time.
