Thank you for the update. Here go my comments: 1. I wouldn't go on a trip on my own. At least not yet. I did that back in April and I was in tears a lot of the time. Crazy, considering I was in the happiest place on Earth: Disneyworld! Can you maybe get just one friend to go with you? 2. Great attitude about the OM. Just a warning that anger might want to make its way back. I have tried to push the OW out of my head, but forgive her? That's going to be a tough one. Maybe with time, the pain will be duller, but I don't know if I will ever think of her without anger. I know I am spiritual and everything, but... 3. My coach told me to never criticize your S's friends bc they'll push away. If you criticize, it's okay to apologize once but not too many times. Remember, you don't want to fill in the role of the pursuer, of the one who has the least power. It looks like things are still headed where you want them to go. That's great! Gotta go. Will check the board again soon.
