The scary stuff that I've had to do so far -
the "I want to separate" speech that I had to write down on tear-soaked paper and shakingly read,
the phone calls I've had to make to lawyers and family and school,
the appointments that I've had to set up with counselors,
the Al-Anon meetings I had to swallow my pride and walk into -
have all made my life better.
Not a little better. A lot better.
It's hard to go outside our comfort zone - to change things up.
Trust your gut, GrumpyMel. If you're doing what seems to be in your best interest, just keep doing it.
Know that, hard as it gets, tough as it feels, it will get better.
I'm glad you're here. Keep posting!
