Sounds like you are doing better AnnKay. A gratitude journal is a great idea…keeps you focused on the positive. One thing I would be grateful for is that you found out about your H’s character now and not 15 years from now. You have the opportunity to build a better life for yourself and maybe meet a good guy later on when all of this is behind you and you’re ready to venture down that road again. I predict that you will look back on this in five years from now and, as the majority of us do, wonder why the heck you went though the emotional pain that you did. Sadly…just a necessary evil…it’s part of the process for committed and trusting people. Just know that you will get to the level of detachment you require my friend…it takes time. No way around it…you just have to go through it.
Glad you went out with friends. Keep doing that. It was a great help in my sitch. (((HUGS)))
