How are you doing? You are sounding stronger and stronger. I am glad that your brother is being so supportive. Don't beat yourself up on misunderstanding some of the details of the D stuff. That's why you have a L to guide you.
Window shopping for houses sounds good. I know that none of us intended to be at this point when we got M but we are here and it is an excellent starting point to carve out the lives we want going forward. Now that we kow which mistakes to avoid, I am sure that we will all ensure we do better the next time around in love too. And there will be a next time, I amm sure.
Thanks for the shout out on the "I confess"thread. I am here regularly reading threads and checking up on people even if I don't usually post. Not much to say re my own sitch. I have cut Mr. K loose. It is for my own self preservation and I just reached a point where I said "No more". I enjoyed my summer thoroughly. Lots of hanging out with friends, eating out, going to concerts and movies etc. I continue to focus on personal growth, seek knowledge, try to live with thanks and joy. Same journey as everyone else.
It is absolutely great to hear from you,LFA. As long as you are posting, I'll be checking in.
