Guys, here is something I posted on the alt.

"Hi, all. I apologized for having been MIA for months!! But I've been busier than ever. I will check the site sometime soon to see how you're doing. I'm sure a whole new set of DB'ers have joined and many of the old timers are gone. You guys were such an important part of my growth and healing, and I will be forever grateful. I mentioned how important you all were (are) in my book, and how you encouraged me to write. Thank you. I've been working 12-14 hrs a day, but I hope things slow down for me in a few weeks. For now, it's SUPER hectic. There's one thing I want you ALL to know: You are awesome. I remind you that what's happening in your life has absolutely nothing to do with how valuable you are or how joyful your life can be. It took me a while to really know this. It took a lot of pain and wasted time. But I'm there. Yes, sometimes I experience regret for the long time it took me to stop feeling such awful pain, but I realized that this has been the most amazing opportunity for growth I ever had. Blessings to all. Will be back in touch."

BF, no this was the original OW.

New quick update: I sent a financial doc to Joe via email a few days ago, and he replied that he was going to buy my book and that it might help him. He ended his email with, "I miss you."
Then he emailed last night to say, "Tell Mom I wish her a happy birthday" It was my mom's birthday.
So it seems he's having a tough time dealing with his current life and maybe is learning from his experience. We'll see what he says when he reads the book, which by the way is on Amazon already!!! Wish I could tell you the title. It'll help many people--that's my hope.

Love you all. Will be back in touch when things slow down a little.
