Yes, you are moving ahead, taking care of you and your needs.
Sorry my dear, but I did have to laugh at those messages he left you, I mean who the heck is he kidding? He is bored....hey you, come here and bring me a game.
He's having a panic attack!!! So have it, and get it over and done with. Tell someone who cares.
Keep it up, nice and steady and you will make it to where he's not in your mind for days at a time, then one day you'll realise you haven't given him head space in months.
God bless
