I started posting on SR in 2007.
I took breaks here and there, sometimes unable to face the folks here when I relapsed back into serious dealings with him and his craziness.
Just this morning, I went back, AGAIN, and reread some posts from back then, from 2009, from 2010...
and this really helps me remember what I have spent on this mess. Energetically.
I think I have done a fair job at protecting our son as much as possible, with a few memorable lapses in judgement, but,overall...
It really helps to reality check with how I felt in the past.
And especially to see how far I have come since then.
