"I would like to be able to look back and see that I rose to the occasion and faced my fears."

Actually for me, the most important thing has been to look back and feel at peace with how I handled things. Truly I did my best with what tools I had at the time. What XH did became less important over time, and now I only occasionally think about what he may be doing.

So, in respect of your answer above - what first steps can you take to do this?
