WHG this is what I have been trying to share with everyone on this board. The day I stopped my sleep aids was a turning point in my sitch, although I do hate to see my ex struggle with money and so on, and now I don't even cringe when I see her calling me, in fact I hardly ever answer on the first call and believe me that was a big step for me. So as time goes by it does get somewhat better, for me I have found that I will be OK , its not the plan I wanted (yes I read your earlier post) but its the plan I have been dealt and will keep a PMA to make it better. So keep on posting..
