Thanks for the support. I AM strong! I haven't told but a few very trusted friends about H's past. Partly simply because of privacy reasons, partly because I don't want to hear "how could you stay with someone like that", and partly because if by some miracle we do R, I don't want people jaded about him or us.
H and I were in MC for about 6 months, and I've seen her in IC a few times. Last time she thought I was doing great, and said I could just call her if I needed to regroup. For the most part I AM doing pretty good, since this has been a long process already, but won't hesitate to call her when the need arises. And it probably will at some point.
