How do i know if its really over 4 ever or just for now.


Would you behave differently if it was forever vs now? If so, what would the difference be?

When you feel even a tiny bit better, what are you doing?

The hope you're looking for is inside of you. Are you more of the type that believes that hope is:

“Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man”
Friedrich Nietzsche

or

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all"
Emily Dickinson

When I would ask if it was done for good, it was because I wanted to be able to let it all go and not have to think about it or deal with strategies for how to cope not only with myself and D's, but with him. I wanted a concrete answer so that if I pulled a bonehead move (or something I even thought was) I wouldn't obssess over it later, wondering if that was the staw that finally broke the camels back.

Being the best expression of yourself for you and your kidlet is what's going to give you not only hope, but the best life.

Hang in there.
