I have read tons of Sam Vaknin's stuff, but he isn't half prolific, huh?
What about you, MO, how are things with you? Are you not updating your thread? It would be interesting for us to learn lessons from your situation, plus it is nice to know how you are doing as a friend too. As I have said a few times before and will say again, you soound sooooo different from just a few short months ago! Like a woman who knows her mind, now, and trusts her senses!
