Thank You, Octobergirl! Yes, I have come a LONNG way. And much personal growth has been achieved. That is what MB has done for me. I want to think that even if H had chosen to not come home, or I had chosen for him to not come home, that I would still be on the great path I am on now, for MYself.

Because a M is only as strong as the 2 individuals that make it up, right? I don't want that wimpy M back.

You have always encouraged me and I love reading your down to earth, practical, very uncomplicated posts. You nicely sift through all the drama and get to the "heart" of the matter. Go 'girl!

Thank You, Suzet! I will (I know I've told you this before, but here it comes again!) never forget that early early morning that I couldn't sleep (or eat, what's a girl to do?) and I came to MB, and everyone was asleep ~ except you, South African lady! And you posted those poems to me, and I printed them out and took them to bed with me. And by the light of my little lamp, I read them over and over, feeling my chest get lighter and lighter, until I drifted off to sleep. And I read those poems many nights that I needed to get off to sleep.

Thank You for that, and all your support and insight and caring. I love reading your posts! Take care.

Hey spider,

Did you know that on the 19th I had my one year anniversary of the dreaded stop at OW house thingy?

Yup one year ago I stopped and had my say at her house. That was the last time H saw OW in person. Can you believe it has been a year already?

Gosh time flies when you are working hard doesn't it?

Dear Spidey, thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I still remember that morning I’ve sent those poems to you while America was asleep! I specifically remember the one poem about “it’s in the Valleys I grow” (my personal favorite). I’m glad those poems were of so much help & courage to you at the times you needed it most. You are welcome and I also want to thank YOU for your help, care & support at the times I was struggling... It was a long time ago but I still remember those times and although we don’t post much to each another anymore, I’m still reading your posts and enjoy reading it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I find that I don’t read and post here as much as I used to, but for me, I guess it’s all part of moving forward and leave the past more & more behind.

I just wanted to pop in and say congrats! Both you and your H are wonderful people (had the pleasure to met both earlier this month). You guidance and kind words through my ordeal have meant so much. I don't post much anymore, too much stuff going through my head, but I couldn't resist this thread.

Best wishes to both of you!

Suzet, I think that is normal for most people to do. There could even come a day when I don't come here anymore. You just never know. I'm glad you are in a good place for you.

Kloe, thank you so much. I miss posting with you. Try not to keep all those things in your head too long ~ many times they need to come out and be heard, read, looked at, and chosen or not chosen. I encourage you to keep the channels open, for your own healing. Take care of that CUTIE baby!
