Gwen,

I'm so sorry you had a difficult day. The holidays have always seemed to be a challenge for many whether life seems great or difficult. Mighty is spot on. It really does get better.

And it gets better because you start to realize more about yourself and your children. Not that you didn't before, although you realize that your h has to go on this journey..and well, they need to go on the journey. It's not an open invitation.

This time last year I wondered if it was our last holiday as an intact family. It was and I was the driver of much of that. Although I did love my xh very much, I also feel like a giant weight has been lifted off of me most days. I know many here don't share that feeling-it's just that I do. That doesn't mean that I did not want to save my M or keep my family together. I just realized I really needed to let him go...for him AND for me. And it has not always been easy. However, it has gotten much better even thought I frequently sound like a 16 yr old boy on my thread:)

Focus on you and your girls. Every day has some magic in it. You will be better than ever. Know that.
