Hi Focus, Good to hear from you.I've also stepped from the forums (didn't want to keep repeating myself)and tried to get on with life.I agree that it is always going to be with us but the important thing is how we deal with it. My ex-W sometimes pops and it does unsettle me but only as much as I let it.We can only hurt ourselves, they aren't there to see the effect things have on us. It sounds like you have made so much progress in many ways, it is good that your H keeps out of the way for long periods (what can he say that will help you? Nothing), it will allow you to heal and grow even more. Keep on your path, accept that there will be rocky moments (memories,emotions, events etc) but know that you are stronger than ever.
