Thanks for stopping by my thread, Can! You seem to be doing well. And yes, GAL is so very important. I have been working on improving myself. I am taking online classes. Our County library has free access to Lynda classes so I can take stuff on investing, leadership, etc while looking for work. I'm also watching lots of inspirational movies to help with my mindset while I am dealing with my MCL. We are still here together and for the most part it's really calm and peaceful. No alien or monster. I do know he's made me a villain but he won't tell me what I've done wrong.

I bet every little thing that goes away with him feels like him leaving all over again. I don't have that direct experience, but I know I'd feel similarly. I'm sorry about the ow. Mine won't admit that he still has feelings. He says what he's going through has nothing to do with her. I know he thinks that, but it's definitely messing up his mind. The limerence fog is relentless. And I also know they have to grieve. But that won't happen until they truly let go.

I sometimes wonder if they ever grieve for us? Or would they if they actually thought we were gone? Or did we just become the enemy and why would you cry for the enemy?

Either way, like HB says, we need to let go of the rope and focus on our own life. Why does that seem so hard sometimes?

I do know that we are all getting stronger. We have no choice. And as we do, we become better equipped to help others, empathize and have compassion for others. And learn, truly learn, how to master our own lives and happiness. I pray for that for all of us, really.

Blessings
