Quote: Sorry guys looks like there won't be any great DBing sucess story coming out of this situation. . .
Emily, we want YOU to be the success story. THAT CAN STILL HAPPEN. And THAT is really the focus of DB. Taking care of yourself and growing as a person. You're going to do that. Not because you FEEL like it. But because of those girls. And one day, you will look at them and say "thank you". They will wonder why and you will tell them that it was them that gave you a reason to make something out of your life. THEY are your HOPE. Because you, like all of us parents, want BETTER for your kids, than what you had.
As for Cassie, I really wish you would not talk to her anymore. She is not your friend and you don't need to be hers. She'll likely have to be burned a few more times by Casanova before she wakes up. Doesn't even matter though. The point is YOU have already awakened and although it hurts, yes, you will push through this.
Of course you can still post here. You can stay in this forum or move to Separated or wherever. Just stay here if you feel like we help at all.

There's no big secret to letting go. It's not really something you visibly do. I think it's more the act of continuing to live and live better, in spite of it all.
