Claudia- thank you, thank you!
But something changed. In me. I became stronger woman, unwilling to settle for the crumbs of the man who "loved me with all his heart" yet committed so many heinous acts.
Fabulous!
And I love your "speech" to your ex. I am trying to look at my AH's leaving as a gift. I think somebody here said something about our HP working through others to get done for us what we couldn't do for ourselves. His leaving was my kick in the pants. Boy have I grown in 4 months. I am grateful for that, but some days it is just hard to accept that this person who I gave my heart to has treated me so poorly. Thank goodness I have just enough of whatever it is that makes us say ENOUGH!
