Hi D! I want to say a special thanks to you. You are truly generous with your time and caring feedback, not only to me but in so many posts I've read here. The calm in your posts certainly provided me with a feeling of support throughout this process when I needed it. I very much appreciate YOU!

I'll work on a summary and review a few of the others in the Another Divorce Busted forum to get a sense for content and length. I've been swamped at work and helping resolve my mother's estate, so will try to get back out here as soon as I can.

Yes, we owe a substantive amount of thanks also to our MC. It also has been a mix of MWD's books, the help of this community, a few other marital experts (Gottmans, Tatkin), and W and me choosing to put in the work. I remind myself regularly not to backslide on these hard-won gains. It can feel very tempting and easy, not unlike picking up old, bad habits. Thankfully, the new habits and relationship are "curing" not unlike fresh concrete that was better prepped and poured this time.
