CC, remember Plan B is all about going DARK and that is what I'm doing <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Actually, I have settled into a very nice and comfortable routine while in my Plan B and as I slowly withdraw from my WW, my personal recovery contiues to improve.
My kids are doing fine and the week away from them allows me time to plan a fun weekend when they return home. This weekend I will be taking them apple picking where they pick apples of course and take tractor and pony rides. My house is still a wreck as I continue to paint the kitchen and do some of the renovations that will make it my own little pad <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I haven't spoken a word to my WW since Plan B started and have only seen her during the kid exchanges. She has said "hi" a few times but I don't reply and don't even look at her in the face. She is looking morbidly thin and I sometimes wonder if I want her back anymore.
I have amazed myself at how strong I can be when I'm determined to carry out a plan.
I have even had some very nice compliments from some women that I know lately and that defenitely boosts my self-seteem. I guess they see things my WW can't.
Overall I'm doing very well...so well in fact that I've been thinking about whether I really want my WW back or not. I certainly deserve to be treated with respect and kindness and can't remove all of the horrible things she has said and done to me.
The old HopeThisWorks is slowly re-emerging with all the new self improvements. I've been OVERHAULED! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Please update me on your own sitch!

Well your plan B has certainly been dark from this end! You sound like you are doing well with your personal recovery. That has pretty much been my focus as well. FWH is home 4-5 days a week. He is focusing on the house and the kids... in his way thats focusing on the M. We have good days and bad days. I have accepted my part in the failure of our M and I have forgiven myself. I'm still waiting for him. I can't rebuild our M without him. I do believe the A and all contact has ended but I do not consider us to be in recovery. I know what I want and I will not settle for less.
Work is going well, I started Country line Dancing classes...its fun and I continue to rediscover myself and what I enjoy. The kids are doing well in school.
We are almost finished w/ the sun pollar. We finished the windows and last weekend took up the carpet to expose the beautiful oak floors w/ maple enlay detail....to find that when the laid the carpet they GLUED it directly to hardwood floor!!!I can't believe it. So now we will hire someone to come in to sand them down and refinish.
We just found out FIL cancer has returned after 12 years of being cancer free. We are not sure the extent of it yet.
So life goes on.
ETA" Overhauled....Love the name and the show!
