Shining your stress/distress is palpable in your posts- and what great advice from Raine!

I'm still in the thick of all this DBing too but I do remember being where you are. It's part of the LBS stages/cycling I think. Right after BD- I pretty much launched into forgiveness, change for what H wants, then change for what I want to become..... And then BAM! About 7-8 mths in I was suddenly pi$$ed off!! I had no idea where all this anger came from and I remember my counselor saying- " you've put off the anger for so long while you focused on both surviving and growing, but at some point you will have to process this- so let yourself feel it but don't get stuck in it".

I found allowing myself to be angry really helped me move past it. I kept being frustrated with that stage- a and I can identify with many of your words.

So sorry we are all in these situations, and yet so thankful for kindred spirits. It will all be worth it- no matter the outcome. Because we are worthy of love and belonging ( that last statement from my favorite author Brene' Brown).

Sending hugs!!
