I know I have to get off this ride for me and my son.
When you figure this out, please let me know. Im great as long as I stay in NC with my W - as soon as she contacts me about anything, I'm a total mess. But I'm doing my best to fake it for now; I'll get the hang of it. In the meantime, up and down I go.
With regards to the focusing on you, someone posted this on another thread and I love it: This could be the worst year of your life or it could be the best year. Either way, it will definitely be the hardest. Your H has given you so much space and time to reflect on yourself and really GROW as a person. Use it wisely! Either way, you're going to hurt (a lot) - but that's going to be the case no matter what. May as well use the time for your own betterment!
