Eagle, thank you for your update and for letting us all know more about where you are in all of this.
I think it's easy to get caught trying to figure out where the other person is, but that's not important. What IS important is where we are, where we've been, and where we're headed.
It's taken me a very long time to come to the realization that it's a blessing I'm no longer married to my exh, and no longer have to live with his demons. It's taken even longer to be able to admit that, openly.
In many ways my life is a lot harder now but it's also a lot more peaceful. I wish the same ongoing peace and discovery for you and everyone else who finds themselves here.
