Well, my relationship is not a success, but I feel that I am.
I have had so many problems with myself my entire life and so much of that has changed now as a result of my reading and the help of the wonderful people on the bb. New ways of thinking, looking at situations and life as a whole are now almost a habit for me. I'm becoming better at it every day. Plus when falling into the old patterns of thinking I am much quicker to realize what I am doing and that I need to change it.
I am much happier with myself as a person now. I feel whole, and capable of living on my own and making my own decisions. These were all things that I felt I was not capable of doing, I have proven to myself that I can do these things. David is not necessary to my life for me to be happy or complete. I love David and wish he would choose to be a part of my life, but that is not a necessity, and if nothing else I wish for David that he find himself.
So 2003 was a very rough year, but a year of learning and growing for me, so I have to say in those respects it was a success! And I hope NEVER to go through anything like that again in my life!
