Aud and Ali, As much as I try to stay away from this board for awhile, I think I am addicted.
As for H contacting OW, I outright told him the other day that I will not put up with it and I will leave. I think he actually took me seriously this time. I am such a different person than I was this time last year. I am so much more stronger and confident, in part due to the encouragement and words of wisdom from people here and to the fact that I went out and got a job. I earn my own money, I have many new friends; both male and female who truely like me for me. There is nothing wrong with me, as I thought a year ago. If I had to start over I KNOW I could do it, whereas last year I couldn't and as a result was a clingy crying desparate mess.
