So happy to hear that things are looking up in so many ways for you, Rich, even though life is not perfect. I smiled when I read about you running into your ex in the store -- good for you for taking the high road, smiling and walking away, instead of making horse neighing noises or something LOL

90 miles is a LONG commute, especially in that famous NJ traffic. Maybe if you and your wife decide to move completely to your house, your step daughter (I like the sound of that smile ) could stay with her grand parents or one of her aunts when she starts college? I'm so glad you and your daughter are getting along well too!

i dont feel soooo afraid anymore. In fact this experience has made me stronger. I have learned so much about me and I like what I see

So glad to hear you are feeling stronger and healing. I truly have come to believe that the only way for us to get over all of the triggers caused by our exes kicking us to the curb is to get out there and live life! You're getting there! Thanks for posting this great update!
