Antonia - are you sure we are not from the same area of the U.S.? My friend Betty says all she's is looking for in a man is one with all his teeth and his truck don't leak oil. Is that asking for so much?
Irish, I was as low as I have ever been just before the light switch clicked and it all became so much easier. Someone on this Board has a quote, I can't think of who at the moment, that says something to the effect that It is when we let go of a problem we gain control over it. That is exactly how I feel.
The way it happened for me may not be the way it happens for you, but IT WILL HAPPEN. For me, it took an event. I was trying to reach H about something at Thanksgiving, and he texted me "I have nothing to say to you." CLICK. My days have been much more carefree since then. It was his choice. No one else to blame, so I changed my phone number and email address. He has nothing to say to me, I'm giving him all the ways to not say it.
Irish, you've been sounding stronger and stronger through this thing. The holidays are tough, to say the least, and a little set back is all this is. Get past it, and the future will be brighter. ((HUGS))
