It's great how this board helps people through these conversations, isn't it?
I remember when I first started this journey (to be clear, when I first became aware I was on a journey like this). I really just needed to feel like I wasn't crazy and that I wasn't the things somebody I used to trust said I was. You'd think I knew, but oddly, when faced with it daily you have to pick and choose what you're going to believe in.
Along the way, I felt everything I once knew sandblasted away. I felt naked, so to speak.
After a while, much of what I saw began to sink in. The two main messages: take care of you, and let go what you cannot control. Oddly, those are two things I already knew, but had lost sight of.
Like, Wen, after a while I was able to let go of almost all the anger. Thanks to this board and the conversations, I remember being able to really see and better understand I am not alone in this. Even the things my ex says (yes, still does but just via email now thank God) are common variations.
These conversations helped me find me. It helped me build a better me.
For that, I'm forever grateful and try to give back.
I wouldn't trade this experience for anything (I would have delayed it for my kids though. I'm not crazy yet
Later,
