PandDBing- Sorry that you have been having a lousy week...i swear i think they all drink the same alien juice at the same time and then act the same way!
So it's not, IMHO, some supernatural willpower I have to move forward with my life. It's just that I don't have that many options. My H has left me with none
I understand what you are saying here, but i think it does take an extraordinary amount of strength to get to the point where you are at now. You may not have felt that you had any options, but i do think you have shown a tremendous amount of fortitude in getting to the place you are at...your strength is clearly evident in your posts. I am not saying that this journey wasn't extremely painful for you...just that you really seem to be handling it so well. I can barely do it now, let alone if i was pregnant. And i wouldn't say that your sitch is necessarily easier to handle b/c your H left you high and dry. While you may not have to deal with his constant comings and goings, you do have the added stressor of being pregnant while this is going on. So, i think it might be just as hard, but in a different way. I don't know if that made any sense, and i hope you didn't take it the wrong way. My point is, i just admire the strength you've had and the outlook you now have on things.
