It is empowering to look back at your former self and see the child you were and the man you've become!

It reminds me of Corinthians I "When I was a child I spoke as child, I acted as a child, I reasoned as a child, when I became a man I put away my childish things" I paraphrase but great wisdom.

It is a bit scary too I get it. You will never look at the world the same way again.

Eric I am inspired by you too my friend. The man I see here can handle ANYTHING.

Thanks Mila and True.

Learning about the new me is interesting I feel so different yet I still am confused over why I feel certain things. As True pointed out, I feel like I am looking at things very differently. Is this normal. Does this type of change just "happen". Why are things so much clearer now I wonder? Maybe I finally have learned from all of my damn mistakes. Who knows.

Has anyone else ever had this type of "swtich" turned on?

Eric

There is a true inner peace that comes from detachment...

One the feeds on the confidence and knowledge that no matter what happens in the future...you will live your life as a batter person.....

With Dignity, Honor, Grace , and Faith in the unknown...

You have learned, and you have become the reflection that a true person sees when they look in the mirror...

One that is capable of loving un-selfishly, and fully....

Eric,you will be fine, regardless the outcome of this....

That , my friend, is the difference in letting go with Love as opposed to letting go with anger.....

This has been a gift to you....

Use it wisely and daily.

Strive to do better, and let the future bring what it will....

While I agree with Mach...being a batter person sounds unhealthy.

Eric, you cannot go wrong dealing with things with dignity and honor.

Focus on you and your kids. Try to get a hold on the anger. Get it out, in whatever way works - exercise, punching bag and then try to let it go.

You will be ok.

Mach / Brookly and Jack - Thank you.

Recieved my first email from my L today. WOW - this is really happening. It sad. Damn did I make a ton of mistakes. Remain focused and steadfast on handling this situation with digity and class.

Had a great weekend with the kids. My D9 actually caught 5 catfish this weekend. She was so excited.

God Bless,
Eric

that must have hurt. frown glad you're staying focused and don't beat yourself up over "mistakes." i mean, seriously, after showing so much love and patience, can we not have a few off times? we're not saints after all.

hang in there...sending you some virtual hugs! smile

Thanks Pandora - I just posted on your thread. I am touched that with everything going on you took the time to post to me. Just goes to show the type of person you are. Keep your head up. Luckily for me, I've found a great support system. smile

God Bless,
Eric
