BIG HUGS to you Brit!

Honest to God, she initiated contact on 6/1, I responded reasonably on this day. Haven't exchanged a text, call, or anything since.

I did send my three stepkids a card last week congratulating them on a successful school year and dropped them $20 each for a job well done, but I don't think that counts since there was nothing to her.

I'm still not fully detached because if she contacts me I'll get flustered, but I AM dark... You always raise good points.

You're right on the date, it is a form of control. But it also marks the year of my personal hell. The LBS train ride is so painful I just want to get off. I'm enjoying my life and am always busy, have plenty of fun with my friends and am getting in great shape. You put a good spin on the way to look at it, heck given my TIME post, why am I worried about 2 months from now anyway...

I am working on myself, I'm trying not spin my words to anyone to fit my agenda. That really makes work a lot harder! I've made great strides on the anger front, when she mentioned feeling like she is falling in love with OM I didn't flinch. For me that is significant progress.

I will catch up on your sitch and see what I can offer. Thanks as always for your time and feedback, I always appreciate it! :-)
