Yes, I have been here since January 2000. Yes, I am very much divorced and he has never come through to the other side. He is one of those that is committed to remaining stuck. He's had some good days, but he's still very much a teenager and quite frankly never grew up and learned what was important in the severe crisis mode.
What happened in the end? It is still a work in progress for him. Before you ask....no I would never consider taking him back. I wrote about him quite a bit back in 2005, right after my bil was tragically killed. Rip Van Winkle's Awakening will shed some light on what I had to deal with. I haven't updated Rip's story in quite a while because there isn't anything new to report and I have very little contact w/him these days. I've moved on...
Bottom line...I'm divorced and quite happy w/my life. My story was not the type of success story most want to hear, but in the end, I was a survivor and that is a success story in and of itself after what I went through.
