I second everything Bright wrote. You are inspiring to me because you are not stuck. I mean we all have stuck moments or periods of time but you have worked so hard to keep those few and far between.

Even though I am new to all this I already see how my H has hurt our girls. I can't wait until I can say I am in that spot where H is not much of an issue in my life. I guess after 25 years it is just plain hard to let go.

Thanks for posting allowing me a glimpse into the possibility of being able to move on. I need to hear it from people like you who are determined to move ahead and live each day with gratitude and peace.

Happy, happy new year! May you bask in the freakin' awesomeness of a shining new year!
