Just checking in. Good days, bad days. Today? Not so good. But right now, I'm OK.

MIL took boys to her daughters house, my house is all mine!Not quite sure if it's peaceful or eerie.

MIL is taking vacation in May, hence I will need to be off too. So, I contacted my 2 brothers in NY today, and think we'll spend some time in my hometown. My youngest brother owns the house I grew up in....I'm thinking this visit may be theraputic for me. Besides, we don't visit much and my sons don't know my family as well. Here, in VA, it's all WH's family, except 1 brother of mine that no one hardly ever sees or talks with (not our choice..his. he has some issues from our childhood and feels he should distance himself...don't know how long that will last, it's been almost 2 years now for his aloof behavior).

In any case, I'm psyched!! I really think it will help me clear my head and gain more focus.

Great idea, right?

Thanks, cc46.

I'm freshly in Plan B and she didn't want me to go into hiding. I told her I would update from time to time. Right now it's too hard to be in here all the time, I'm trying not to focus on A's and OW's.

Again, thanks for the update!!

Christine,
how are you doing?

I've been in plan B for 3 1/2 months. Now I have a new job and it is very demanding I'm not getting on the board somuch and it's probably the dual effect that is good. Truth is,like someone else said not too long ago here, YOU HAVE TO GET BUSY. It's the only way to survive this.
If you ever need some encouragement, let me know. If you can keep away from MB, good for you. Allyou need right now is the book to remind you that it is the correct thing to do and there is hope, but you can't hurry it.

Christine:

I see you!

Hang in there.

I know how hard this must be for you. However, in the long run, it is the best decision.

I've been thinking about you.

Remember: "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop and look fear in the face..you must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.
