Hi DBB, Sorry I haven't been around...going through a rough patch. H told me on Friday the only reason he hasn't filed yet is because he wants me as a friend...he knows I can't be his friend, because if we do I will always leave a door open for him to walk through and I can't do that if I'm to move on......I'll sit here and wait, wait for him to be dumped again and I'll attempt to pick the pieces up for him. I knew you were right in your last post about him going back, I knew it would happen again, thought I was prepared but it still hurt. I know I have to cut ties all together (except for the girls), I can't be there to take care of him anymore...didn't think I was (thought I was being a friend) but now I know I've done more than I should have. The addict has to help himself but I'm starting to think it may be to late when (or if) he does. Well enough about my continous 7 months of hell, how are you doing? I really hope your doing well, although I haven't posted I do read them and I appreciated the 11 tips..rules that you posted, I cut them out and put them in my new journal. I was reading them everyday until I got side tracked (blind sided) however you want to look at it. So let me know how your doing and thanks for looking out for me.. it's nice to have somebody out there. Take Care, Hang In. stacie
