Thanks, peeps-- LITB, 25, Arsene, Rough, Sweetbaby, NG, and all the rest. I love you all. Your concern and help always brings tears to my eyes . . .

25 and LITB, I totally agree that I should go there and focus on myself. I am honestly a totally forgiving person generally. I have just been struggling with a bit of resentment lately and also the lengthy uncertainty of my sitch sometimes rears up and bites me. I know that I have a lot of work to do on myself and am actually excited about the possibility of learning more about myself and breaking some old patterns that no longer serve me. I just didn't want to miss something in the process by being hyperfocused on the wrong things.

PS I have not heard back from H since I sent him the email telling him I'd bring a signed copy of the joint divorce petition with me to the weekend smile Onward and upward, so to speak.

I will carry the thoughts, hopes, and good intentions of all my fellow DBers with me at Retrouvaille. Thank you all again.
