CC, you are making progress whether you know it or not.
everyone works through at their own pace. Definitely don't want to rush it because it could come back to haunt you later. The divorce is just a piece of paper, a legal thing, it does not erase the memories or the relationship. They are all part of who you are today. saying goodbye in a journal letter can be very freeing, you don't have to say goodbye to him - just say goodbye to a list of actions that he was doing that you didn't like. surely there are things you won't miss... say good bye to the MLC actions. you can do a short memo to start and later when you're ready, try to extend on that. then again we're all different and what helped me cope may not help you, you will find your own coping strategies and healing powers smile Just by posting here is helpful and you also help others with your responses. Our H's are the same age and your bd was the day before mine, so weird. At the time I remember thinking "i can't believe this is happening" and that people would know just by looking at me that I was not good enough and that my h left me because I'm horrible or something. Then I started thinking I couldn't possibly be alone, that this same exact thing is happening to someone else right now - and sure enough it was, felt good to know I wasn't alone. That's when I found this place. You and I must have had the same heartbreaking at the same time. Overwhelming at times - now i'm actually glad it is over with for me so quickly. That enabled me to heal. Just rambling on smile Hang in there CC, thinking about ya!
