Eric sounds like you've really built some good and healthy boundaries for yourself.

Funny, when I decided my goal was to live my life authentcally, setting healthy boundaries, and not doing for others just to appease them was the #1 I realized I needed to do.

For me, it's saying what I mean, and meaning what I say. If I can't say it due to it really causing harm, I don't say anything at all.

Im learning true forgiveness....for I've prayed for guidance and patience to see forgiveness towards my XH. I feel more forgiveness towards XH every day. What's so freaking ironic about that is that Im learning forgiveness towards him because all in all, we truly are the same in so many aspects of our personal demons and dysfunctions.

We just deal with it completely different than the other.

I never thought in a million years would I ever come to understand my XH better through divorce.

Im getting my answers to my questions and my why's believe it or not.
