Massive massive hugs to you DV6. You awesome woman. I think you've done a jolly good job of explaining it for anyone else who comes along and needs this advice.
The process cannot be hurried. I know it is said over and over again, but it really is about giving yourself the gift of time. That's what you've done.
We all torture ourselves with the slow death of our old marriages: we mourn and grieve and weep and wail, and it is not until we can truly put it in the ground and walk away from it that there is any hope of a new one being born.
I do still love my husband to some degree. A couple of months ago I told him that I loved him enough to set him free.
Look at you DV6; you have weathered the s***storm and found your inner peace. How great are you and what a great role model to your children.
We're only here once so we'd better make it count.
