In-Home Separation, One Year Point

[ces67]

Just chiming in to agree with you & Verab. I had a counselor (who was the source of me finding DB) say that this approach does help create more calm in chaos but we will still have emotional pains that will need to be dealt with for healing. As within anything, its an opinion but it make sense to me.

Ad, I'm with you on the family stuff as well. My family knows things aren't good but I've refused to give details except my own issues. I've talked with my brother more than anyone and have had to stop that as well because of the damage it was doing on his view of my W.

You are digging in on you. That's great and what you can control. Nothing bad about the struggle you had with your H's friends. Its human and you're acknowledging it and working through it. Makes sense to me.
