We talk here about withdrawl of the WS from the OP, but when it comes to divorce, we have our withdrawl from our spouse to think of. I go through ups and downs with this. But most importantly, I want to get to the point where he is not my main topic of conversation. Maybe then I will feel that my life is my own.

Another here.<P>Every time someone asks me 'how's it going?', I want to give them a big critique of the divorce. Instead I seem to be saying, 'ok, considering everything else.'<P>I read an article last night. Martin Luther said that for anxiety and depression the best cures he'd found were: music, socializing and playing games with other people, "earthy" work (like gardening), and praying & reading the Bible.<P>Odd, those are the things that I have been turning to when thoughts of me stbx and entire situation start to crowd in on me.<P>~Amy

And just when you think you're getting there... able to effectively pull away, the person says one thing to trigger another emotional response - even if it's only internal. Man, no wonder God said, "I hate divorce." I wonder if it's EVER final!<P>------------------<BR>We cannot do everything at once... but we can do something at once
