I have been returning to read your words/posts daily, and they are giving me such courage, inspiration and comfort. My H separated from me in March 2010 having signaled his intention to do so last September 2009 - the day before his 51st birthday. Unfortunately I didn't discover Michele's book (or this site) until after he had left. I am committed to trying to build a friendship with him and applying all the wisdom that others have gained - and are generously sharing - when dealing with MLC.
Yesterday was a good night as he returned to spend an evening meal with myself and two of the children (S14 S16). The alien didn't appear for a couple of hours and I think I handled it okay - remaining calm and not retaliating. Even when he went to the front door, I didn't follow, just called out a cheery goodbye from the kitchen. A first for me.
This is the first time I've written a post, but just wanted to introduce myself and say an enormous thank you to all of you who have become such an important part of my life. The gift you give by sharing your experiences is the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Thank you. _________________________________ Me 51 H 51 S 20 S 16 S 14 M 25 yrs Bomb dropped Sept 2009 Separated March 2010
