choosing door #2 - next part in my journey

[TL72*]

Hey T, that's cool you got the workbook too. I used that also even though we really didn't use it too much in group. My group was 6 short weeks, normally it's 10 I think so we doubled up on chapters and ended up discussing things each week and not really the workbook - my suggestion is do the workbook anyway, I did and it did help me as does the "homework" in the book itself. There's a chapter on friendships in there which relates to how some of your friends/family will choose sides. My exH's parents are both deceased and he had not spoken to his F in probably 30 years anyway. He has 3 sisters, none of which have spoken to me but we were not that close anyway. At the time he had not told his family anything, I don't know if he ever told them he left me, probably has by now. He didn't tell his best friend that he divorced me either, i heard them on the phone the day he moved out and he pretended that nothing was going on. He probably told him by now but it was weird. Anyway I think there is a chapter in there that discusses it but only as it relates to divorce and rebuilding not MLC. These MLC's complicate things but the books really helped me to look at my role in all this and how I'm going to move forward and rebuild "as if" he's not coming back. It helps you make this about you and your life now, helps with the detachment that we so desperately need. I really hope it helps you too. I was/am doing pretty good, however with the texts last week now I think "maybe it's him" every time my freakin phone goes off. That's lame. I figured out it was just a "touch n go" and now I have to get back to not thinking it's him every time i hear a text come in. He wanted space, he's got it. Yeah I still have anger issues I'm working through Hope you have a great day!
