Quote:

I'd have to say -
* the lingering impact of last years events,
* questions yet unanswered,
* the unpleasant realization of the negative things my H is capable of doing. (Of course, there is nothing new in that, just my awareness of it),
* more time is needed in order to tip the scales of my fears, and develop more fully, a sense of confidence in myself.




Yes!

The time line on all of this is deceptive.
In some ways, it seems that the whole process is remarkably slow.
Yet, in review, it seems like so much has happened (of the positive kind) over a relatively short period of time.
I suppose it has a lot to do with perspective and state of emotion at any given moment.




Yes again! We share the same "day that will live forever in infamy". When I stop to think of where each of us was emotionally, and the state of our M's just a year ago...
It's amazing isn't it? It seemed like every bit of progress was agonizingly slow at the time.
