Down, but not out ..... yet.

Wow, Ginger, now that is a HUGE win for you! Perhaps the most important win you can hope for in your life. I can't tell you how many woman put dating on hold until the kids are grown or at least deep into high school. There is nothing wrong with that - though I'm not saying you should do it either. You very likely still have half your life to go and I know it's not happened for you yet, it will. The law of averages just are hard to argue with - not finding someone in the next 25 years? Really? Not likely. But back to your D, it's great to hear how happy you are about it as you should be. Give yourself the credit you are due. It's likely not your Ex that is responsible for how she is turning out - it's you.

There are many other things you can continue to be proud of and I just hope you'll focus more on those rather on what you are longing for. Easier said than done, I agree, still it's going to be healthier and happier for you if you do.

As for the dreams, ugg..... I still get them occasionally too - although mine are different. I don't even know why I'd dream about my ex as I never think of her when I'm awake and have seen her once in the last 5 plus years, heck it might be closer to 10 years! However, my dreams are more that she comes back and for whatever reason I take her back and then totally regret it and feel like I'm trapped and can't get out and I go on dreaming OMG how did I let this happen? - I don't want this!!! LOL Hmmmmmmm perhaps it relates to my awake life? LOL

Anyhow, just wanted to give you congrats on being such a great mom.

Oh, BTW, KML asked if you had made any moves on meeting more single friends and doing things with them? Well....?
