Hi JV...

I hope that the talk with your H went okay yesterday...
I see so much strength in you lately...
You have come a long way since I first began reading your posts. There will probably be more ups and downs ahead of you, but you have made ALOT of great changes within yourself and most importantly I think you are alot stronger than you have given yourself credit for...
It amazes me the growth and complete person that you have finally let out and are showing all of us. You have found the inner strength and power many of us here seek.

Everything I have read from you confirms that you are a happy, intelligent, thoughtful, and STRONG woman.
I see so much strength in you! You will not let yourself become someone that can not move forward...
You are well on your way, JV!

I know that with my situation, I once thought I could only be happy with my H, but the truth of the matter is I can and will be happy if I allow myself to be...
Working on myself has brought me closer to happiness...
So, I will be happy and a happy woman is most definitely an attractive woman!
I have finally come to realize the fact that my happiness is NOT dependent on my H--- He is NOT the source of my happiness.

JV... YOU have grown into more of a "complete woman"...
You have lived through the scars of a poor relationship and now have the knowledge and tools to create a better, glorious one with whomever you choose to in the future...
You are such a wonderful person and you should be proud of the work you have done and how you have handled such a difficult time in your life.
I have told myself that I want to be gracious and strong through this process and it really gives me alot of strength to have people tell me that I have handled this incredibly well. I hope you feel the same way- b/c you should! Hope you are continuing to feel stronger with everyday... I am rooting for you, JV!!!!
Your friend, KIM
