Finding me again on the yellow brick road

[AntoniaB]

YBR, I so appreciate that you wrote this. I've been feeling this way too myself lately, regretful that I "wasted" so much time thinking I could change anything in his mind... and my XH and I are SO not reconciled! But I'm really happy alone..something I never thought I'd ever say.

I think it's lovely that you came back to say all of this. People said it to me when I began with all this, but I guess I didn't believe them. Perhaps the more people who say all of this, the better chance that newbies will take heed and take care of themselves first and foremost.
