Fighting it is what causes suffering. Like the say, pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
I love this quote.

Sorry, I was MIA yesterday, as you know it was a rough day for me too at work and otherwise.
I think you handled yourself wonderfully and your kids are lucky to have you as their mother.
I am sorry I missed the group hug....with that being said, I think that the way we have all supported each other on and off the boards has truly been a blessing. I for one am glad to you all friends.
Thursday is a deal PEI....big day for me too...
Cheers

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
I have had a crazy week and just catching up on everything. So much has happened!!! I am so sorry that you have had such a rough couple of days after such a nice vacation. I really do not know how you didn't go Carrie Underwood on his as*.
You are a better person than I. Keep your chin up. This weekend is going to be another hurdle. The "official" move out is tough...even when you are pushing for it to happen. Because of course...you really don't want it to happen... to quote Grit...that is the Paradox ; )
I continue to be impressed with the way you handle yourself.
PEI, I read your post and I have to say, I'm very impressed. I think you are absolutely on the right track. It hurts, but it is needed for you to set AND enforce your boundaries regardless of the outcome. You make your choices and your spouse makes their own choices. Freedom to choose, freedom to lose. Sad for those around us that pay the price, but can be a learning experience as well that really helps. We can't know until later.
Go get 'em.
