Newbie: Is this MLC and how do I GAL?

[gunny]

Hello Someday,
I have not posted on your thread before but wanted you to know that you are not alone in your sitch. I have also been married for 11 years, no kids, my w left 8 weeks ago.

I am also very introverted, even though my job calls for me to be qutie extroverted(Veterans Service Officer). I have also always been very independent, and enjoyed a high degree of independence in my marriage, one of the many great things about my w.

So, like you, being very introverted, my GAL activities of choice would normally be doing things by myself, ie. hiking, walking, going to the bookstore/library, etc. I have had to work very hard in forcing myself to get involved with some local Divorce/Separation Support groups, but I am very glad that I have. I have made some good friends in these groups, we meet often for coffee or dinner outside of the groups, and best of all, they have all been in the same place I am, and do not mind listening to me, or if needed, giving me advice. You might want to check out a local group, and also, just a thought, check out a Codependent Anonymous meeting near you.

Keep hanging in there, good luck,
Gunny
