Divorced Thrd #6/Long Road Ahead

[Mrs D]

I can do this. I can be the strong, confident person I was.

In all seriousness, MrsD, I honestly believe you can, too. There is an earnestness about you -- a strength and tenacity behind the desperate fear (only when it relates to your ex-H) -- that is evident. And you have a healthy level of introspection, which I have always felt was a necessary trait found in all successful DB'ers (too much of this leads to "navel-gazing," however . . . "introspection" = "GOOD"; "navel-gazing" = "BAD").

Add to that your strong faith, and I think you have a very solid foundation of emotional strengths on which to build, I really do.

And as you can probably tell my now, I'm NOT the type to blow smoke up your butt if I didn't think that were true!!!

Thank you - I think my determination is what gets me down sometimes. And my mind wandering. But I REALLY appreciate your post. This will get me through the weekend. I know th art of DBing is making yourself happy and the best you can be. I just need to stay focused on THAT and not he/she. Keep building me up Starsky!! And thank you as well for being one of my cheerleaders.
