WAW 20 years not sure where I am right now.

[gutwrenching]

first thing that hits you when you stop reacting and start acting... is the calmness after the drama.

I still remember the absolute sense of relief I felt driving away and driving for a couple of hours with my kids after telling my W this is the beginning of our new lives...hope yours will be all you dreamed of. I don't think I'll ever forget that. It's natural. Embrace it...feel good for a change.
