Heather, When I did remember - two days past the date, it hit me like a ton of bricks: The date now meant pretty much nothing to me.
Yes, i am still sad and consumed by my new circumstances (trying to get by on nothing and starting a new life in every respect), but the creepy weirdness of what XH did, and how and when ( immediately after a 3-week family cruise and a day before our wedding anniversary [and i can no longer remember how many years that was]), is all pretty much history to me.
It does get better, no matter how low you feel. The terrible feeling of desolation passes. Life goes on... it's trite but true.
I never thought I'd say this, never thought I'd get 'over' XH.
We are not these people; we can survive and thrive without them.
In many cases they were pulling us down - or would have done had they stayed as part of our families in their damaged state.
