Denny / Minx,
I missed my 2nd opportunity to attend Al-Anon. I am trying to go to one that is on saturday morning which is a "beginner" session. A friend called saturday and I was chatting away (probably an excuse to not go).
I do want to say I've been going to DA for 2 weeks now and got a sponsor last week. That is going really well!
As soon as I get to one of these Al-Anon's, I will post back.
Every day away from my xabf feels better. I realize how abusive he was. I've spent some time re-reading some of our earliest correspondence by email and see shortly into our dating, he was giving CLEAR signs how bad his problem was. I wish during our first breakup I hadn't contacted him again so soon. I also realize how much time and effort I put into understanding and researching his problem. I didn't see anywhere near that amount of effort in return to understand what I was dealing with
But, all in the past now. I am focused on my recovery!
