GM - Thank you for stopping by. I read your thread regularly, although I don't post much and have followed your sitch from the get-go. I know I don't have to tell you, but you have come such a loooooong way from when you first posted... Your growth is amazing. Yes, life and some hard knocks and a tough reality helps us get there. You are right - it is what it is.
I still remember when you posted about your D's party and how you sat with OW and talked to her. I remember thinking - WOW... that is true grace and taking the high road. I know it wasn't easy for you to get there and your story is a source of inspiration for me because it helps me see that anything is all possible. I think deep down I know I will eventually get there with OW, but I certainly appreciate you reminding me that the timeline is not a short one, although 2+ years sometimes feels long to me.
Yes, I am not there but I think that really talking about all these issues and visualizing future scenarios will help me get there if not faster, in a more accepting and gracious way. (I hope - lol...)
Thanks for stopping by and congrats on your job change. No matter what comes next, you already took the first step, which is ending something that was not working for you.
