Hi Thornton, I haven't been on here in a long time but wanted to see how you're doing. You're a great (and handsome) guy, (and I know that because we've met, people, so it's true!)

You've been an inspiration to so many of us, and you continue to be that. Whatever happens, you're going to be happy. I know, it doesn't feel that way now. But those glimmers of hope about your new life? Go with that. Imagine a new relationship without all this baggage. A new person who thanks her lucky stars she found Thornton! Someone who might be just as sad as you are today, but eventually you'll find each other and be so happy!

I'm one of the lucky ones that got her person back, and we're doing well. But I have a friend who's dealing with so much ^^%@ from her STBX. She worked the DB program sort of, but this STBX has turned vicious and mean and selfish. Sometimes it's best to just let go, because they become tainted with all the pain they've caused. I'm a big supporter of DBing and I do believe Rs that have worked for years can and deserve the investment to try it again. But if it's just more and more pain, over and over? Let it go. Happiness IS out there.

XO
