Thanks for thinking of me Still! I've been away for a good long time but have been back a bit just reading with an occasional post.

I'm doing really well. Personal recovery thanks to a dark Plan B has been great and I'm feeling strong and happy!

Hey Lexxy. Like I said I'm feeling strong and am happy. I've been in a dark PB since July. WH is not bucking the system at all. He is compliant and things have gone smoothly with that. I finally realized that I need to care for me and couldn't worry about nor control what he's doing, and with a lot of prayer and faith, I actually feel pretty emotionally healthy. Thru my IC I have worked thru all my crap and how/why I came to be in this sitch. I've really worked hard to heal my heart. I'd lived in denial for so many years and it was destroying my heart and I'd lost myself. My faith in Christ is the only reason I'm doing this well. I would never try to compare myself to Queenie but I did learn from her and I chose to totally give it up to God and follow his plan for my life as well. I've given WH up to Him as well which is all I could have done anyway. My DD and I still pray for him every night.

The D is still on the back burner. Neither of us is pushing it. I don't know what God has in store for me but I trust Him with it all!

So great to hear the happiness in your voice... you've come sooooo far. Good job on handing the reins over to God... He won't steer you wrong.

Thanks everyone for thinking of me and the kind words! A good friend of mine told me the other day that she now sees peace and happiness in my eyes instead of the pain and darkness that was there for so long. I wish I'd found this strength early on in the A but I was so far gone......long-term denial kills the spirit and mine was DEAD. But not anymore!
