Brief synopsis: M ~ 9.5 yrs D on 5/2/05 XW 34 & in ~ MLC Me 38 S6
Amazing. I've been D'd 6 mo already. When I review my early and even recent posts, I'm reminded of all the rough and low points in my last year, as well as the cool fact that I survived and even improved thru-out it all.
I remember praying last Nov to be back home and able to read S6 bedtime stories and say his bedtime prayers w/him by his bedside at night. It struck me ~ 1 wk ago while doing so, that my prayer had been answered, just not like how I expected or hoped.
GAL work and faith seem to be the things motoring me along. Distancing from XW is helping me to stay focused on what I can control. Her MLC beh is not one of those things. Apparently, she's starting to face the music in some ways, and is worried about what other folks think of her. I plan to just keep my distance and let her work her own stuff out.
I too noticed the newcomers to this forum. Always a bittersweet moment to see someone else in the same sitch. Good to find another with a similar perspective, but painful to see someone else hurting.
