Hi Elly! Just dropping in to check on you. Sometimes I get so frustrated that it's been 5 months since BD, and I feel like I'm just barely beginning to wrap my mind around it. You have no idea how much better it makes me feel learning that others have been here much longer than I, and still struggle a bit.
Sometimes the advice feels to me like "get over it already"...I'm not there yet. I'm trying to be, and I am making progress, but this is hard! It's something I never wanted, and I realize it's happening. There's no denial going on...I just wish I were at peace, but I'm not.
I don't know what I'm trying to say exactly. It's part vent, part I'm so glad you're here, and part I'm so happy I'm not alone still struggling a bit after the first 3 months. I've been trying to catch up on your threads - but it takes a bit of time. I've been doing a lot of reading in the MLC section, too. I always find great advice there.
Just really want you to know I've noticed you, and your attitude and situation resonate with me. You have such kindness! Thank you for being willing to share it.
